Phil Ivey Still Drawing Live for His WSOP Bracelet Prop Bet
Phil Ivey has more on the line than his £2,500 entry fee in WSOPE Event #2.
Phil Ivey, who likes to gamble, made some big prop bets this year with a number of players (Daniel Negreanu for around $200k, Eli Elezra for around $500k) this year. He came up short at the 2008 World Series of Poker. After the WSOP wrapped, he allegedly told everyone that WSOPE bracelets were part of the bet. Fair enough.
Things are still looking good for Ivey in Event #2 (£2,500 H.O.R.S.E.) of the WSOPE. Yesterday he was chip leader for a good part of the day. Play stopped with 11 remaining, and Ivey was mid-stacked. Only 10 remaining now, and he's fourth overall with around 114,000.
The current top three big stacks are Howard Lederer (208,500), Yuval Bronshtein (133,500), and Jeffrey Lisandro (125,000).
In related news, Phil Hellmuth busted in 12th.
Get full chip counts here.
Is Phil ever going to slow down his gambling, it scares the heck out of me, Hopefully he is getting enough royalties to contain his sick behaviour,
When are they going to start gambling off there shares in Full tilt, or gamble heads up against Patrick or Gus for the Rights to his own Brand Name etc

A ture gambler has always more betting trends, it does not matter definitely he will win or not.
