Absolutely, he handled it honestly and without hesitation.

He doesnt get to take advantage of the write off.

I pick PH and Brian Rast to go HU and Rast will win again

ivey ivey ivey!

ok i might be wrong it childish, i just thought alof of those deals were just nono to talk about. For many reasons iam not going into.

Delay until Euro 2012 final ends please, thanks.

Is Ivey in?

Sportsbooks don't care who the favorite is .. it's all about how much people are betting on which side. The goal of the sportsbook is to bring in the same amount of money on all sides so that they make money on the vig - no matter who wins.

If everybody is betting on Ivey, his odds will get worse and others will get better.

phil hellmuth to take this down - obv

There is a pretty big vig on these bets.

anyone hating on deeb for for taking the million and conceding the seat is a buffoon

in the WSJ article, pretty sweet staking arrangement for mike sexton. can't believe so man

Its pretty sick that Deeb won a million just like that, his largest score ever and it was in a turbo crapshoot.

in the WSJ article, pretty sweet staking arrangement for mike sexton. can't believe so many people got staked (presumably)

i'm still a little unsure about where people in the UK can watch this

some saying it will be streamed on wsop.com, some saying it wont, some saying it will be on espn

can i watch it on the wsop website like the other streams? and what time will is it confirmed to start UK time?

tyty

Your seriously debating the structure on a one time tournament for charity that you would never be able to afford in a lifetime?

I'm more concerned about the fact that only 10% is going to charity and ex FT pros are playing with stolen money. I hope Andy Beal wins and donates it all. God forbid some FT degenerate or Phil "UB who?" Helmuth wins and just keeps it for there greedy selves after they pay off all their loan sharks.

LOL payout structure discussions!

Roland De Wolfe is a very random one, I didn't see his name mentioned at all in the build up.

Hmmm... So this is the highly anticipated men-only tourney in response to the ladies event. Kewl!

According the the WSOP website they are only streaming the final table on the 3rd. Sunday (today) you get the 10 handed 6 game mix and the ladies NLHE. Which I'm sure you'd rather see then the start of the biggest money touney of all time

100 to 1 odds on the facebook genius? I'm in for a couple bucks.

seriously didn't he go deep in the 5k NL? how is he 100/1
