Id deal just for first place money even with a huge chiplead.

Lol at anyone turning down more than the top two places combined just for a shot at winning some tourney.

I would take the deal if he offered me $5 million to get to $11 million instead of winning for $10 million.

Then I would retire and never play a hand of poker again.

don't need any help from Howard to lose to Gus, I'd try to do it anyway.

I like the guy.

Take the deal.
$10MM for first is taxed.

$6MM for second is taxed.
$15MM from Howard better not be taxed so it's like getting $22MM before taxes.

I would double avenge Gobbo by telling Howard to **** off, followed by beating Gus HU.

no way i'd take the deal. You're pretty much set for life anwyay with 2nd place money so why not try to make history...

If there is one thing most people strive for in life its to be remembered after they are gone and winning the main event would cement that forever....2nd place not even close....Its really a no brainer...no deal howie!

You outplay everyone your way to the final table.

You donk it up on the finmal table till you reach the very last day heads up.....

Its Phil Helmuth.

The hype is huge. A superstar of our game is heads up with you and the media is in a frenzy.

You go outside to have a smoke or have a bat or something and a man whispers for you to go into an alley with him.

You follow and the shady character is keeping a low profile, but you can obviously tell its Russ Hamilton.

Anyway the man explains to you that the online organiation that he represents has an extreme interest in getting PHIL across the line,

first bracelet....main event.....real Rocky balboa stuff.

The offer for you is to throw the match.

in return you are a guaranteed red pro on UB for 5 years and you will get paid 15 large (on top of your 2nd place cash money, young money) if you comply.

So if first is ten mil and 2nd is 6 mil, you walk away with 21mil and a deal.

If you refuse, and you lose naturally against the superstar, sucks to be you boss.

If you win, ten mil + bracelet and the hype associated with it.

Will you chooose cash over fame and achievement?

whats your price?

make a difference?

I would go for the win, I would never lay down for anyone no matter how much money they throw at me. Plus, I respect the game to much to ruin the integrity of the game like laying down to an opponent.

i'd take the money so long as it was tax free

what are the perks of being a red pro, does that automatically include live tourney buy ins?

I would accept Lederer's deal but I would try to win the match, so if I lose I get the sponsorhips contract and if I win I get the first prize, fame, etc. After that I can make much more money from other events and investments so I won't hesitate.
