Logically it would be because PLO plays much bigger than a corresponding stakes NL game and so an equivalent cap in PLO is bigger than in NL. It could just be some random choice by FTP though

As long as Ivey doesn't drop a few BI's they'll play all night.

Curious to see what happens if it does get played though. Ivey adjusts ridiculously well and it's well-documented that he loses first before adapting.

Any reason why jungleman wants to play Phil Ivey heads-up at the highest stakes available? Great for railtards, but objectively it's stupider than stupid. I know he's preparing for playing durrrr and probably wants to learn from the master, but this is a much too expensive a way to learn. No way is jungleman rolled for 500/1k heads-up and he could easily lose half his roll in the space of a few minutes.

I would not assume all of (the original) team full tilt have equal shares. Lederer has been a much more active representative of the site than Harman, so I would assume (maybe falsely) he has a bigger share of the company.

Not sure, I didn't think he'd been doing too well in LHE till last night. He lost about $180k to Ihatejuice and I think deprimiert was up on him till last night.

Like every other young hotshot that shoots up to nosebleeds he thinks he has an edge on Ivey. They all learn better eventually.

I thought him and Chris Ferguson were the majority owners, of the "cough" software not the site itself
