Poker, Football, and everything sports

Bet on Phil Ivey. Its pretty simple. The man is for sure the greatest poker player alive and arguably of all time this summer has cemented his legacy. Two bracelets and now he's gotten a big monkey off his back and finally final tabled the main event after getting 10th in 2003 and 20th in 2005. So here is a full recap of all of the bets platt and I made last week.

Going into the main event, I was up 70 bucks, mainly because of the 100 buck bonus we got for any of our overall players winning a bracelet. Mr. Ivey won 2, hence 200 bucks. Other then that, platt was kicking my ass in the last longers before that. We made 5 last longers on the main event. In all matchups, the guy I picked is hte first one: Mike Matusow vs Phil Hellmuth- Hellmuth wins. Scotty Nguyen vs Erick Lindgren: Nguyen wins. Ylon Swartz vs Ivan Demidov: Swartz wins. And lastly, Ivey vs Lunkin: Ivey wins. So after the last longers, I'm up 4-1 and up 120 more bucks. 190 overall

Here's where the bonuses come in. We have a 50 buck bonus for the top 100 players. Ivey is the only one eligible for it, and gets top 100. 50 more for me. 240 overall. After that, we have a 100 buck bonus for making the final table. After starting the day at 4th with 27 to go, Ivedy was knocked down to 17th with 19 to go. But he was able to ride the short stack an dstay aggressive, and he is now sitting 8th in cihps with 9 to go in the November 9! 100 bucks more to me. 340 overall

Lastly, after needing 200k from my players going into the main event, Ivey has given me that and more, winning me the overall bet, and 40 more bucks. Up 380.

Now, its a waiting game. In November, the final 9 come back, and if ivey ships the main event, it will give me a cool 400 more bucks! 300 for the winner bonus, and 100 for the 3rd bracelet in the overall bets. 4 months and counting!
