Re: one drop. Chamath Palihapitiya was the Facebook guy that was on the ME coverage in 2011. Pretty sure he's the soft spot of that whole tourney. Also, Roland DeWolfe...dafuq is he doing in there?

[RoadSweeper]

I wonder what edge the players think they have in this? Seems like there are quite a few business men in it.

I'm not sure. The charity donation has to really put a dent in a lot of the EV if there was any! I guess alot of the edge will come down to those who won't suffer TLS.

Im sure we will find out by their mark-up

[RoadSweeper]

Payouts are:

Total $42,666,672 (Prize Pool)


The remainder of the prize pool, $5,533,328 will go to OneDrop.org, an official charity partner of the
World Series of Poker. Out of each $1 million entry fee, $111,111 has been ear-marked to go
towards OneDrop. For this event, the WSOP eliminated all typical house fees to operate the event.
In terms of records, the $18,346,673 is the largest-ever first place prize awarded in any sporting event
of any kind (outside of boxing). Additionally, the second-place prize of $10,112,001, will become the
third-largest prize ever awarded in poker, behind Jamie Gold’s haul in the 2006 WSOP Main Event
($12 million).

How is there so much loot in Boxing? Sponsorship mainly?

[Marsden02]

Anyone interested in a sweepstake for the One Drop Milly? For a bit of craic.

Bubbleking re. Armagh wind your neck in. oh right your from Meath.... says it all really

Some of the businessmen aren't exactly mugs though. David Einhorn might not be a professional poker player but I'd imagine he'll be pretty tough. And then you have the likes of Guy Lailiberte who won't have an ounce of fear.

I think it's a pretty awesome event. About the only event at the WSOP I'll pay any attention to.

[oleras]

Rick Salomon playing aka the star of One night in Paris, that should make for some interesting table talk.

One night ? 10 mins would do me...

Dwan often tweets that most of the Macau guys play well.

Yep. Set it up.

Been meaning to do this myself, but I'm a lazy lazy man.

[Marsden02]

Yep. Set it up.

Im up for doing this, but in truth I would be a bit of a novice at this and if anyone else wants to do I wouldn't mind at all , i'll throw up a Poll thread and see if we can get any interest.

[MrPillowTalk]

There's enough businessmen in the event to make it decent value for top pros, Ivey must be licking his lips.

Surprised at some of the pros reged wouldn't have thought a lot of them have that kind of dough, and selling % to a million quid event must be hard enough.

[Fullof..It]

Lads, looking for RB on Ipoker if available, can you drop me a PM please?

Where would the likes of Mike Sexton be getting 1M to play a tourny, maybe he's worth gazillions?

I think the edge is alot lower that this. Look at Ivey's table - Combined tournament earnings of about $55m. Also what Lloyd said - The business men aren't stupid. They will probably have a lot of experience playing poker and/or be fearless in the tournament. Looking at the job descriptions I don't see anyone who is likely a mug.

Sexton, I don't know. I don't think playing poker is his main income now.

[Opr]

I know absolutely nothing about Mike Sexton but I take it he was leveling the whole world when he used to commentate on the WPT a while back if he can afford/get backed to play in this?

Pretty sure he made a lot of money from Party Poker shares back in the early days of online poker. He's not short of a bob or two but most of it came from non-poker playing.

He said in a tweet he didn't have much of himself, but didn't reveal where he was getting the loot.

Crazy scenes in court 2 it seems. 14-14 in the 5th set atm. Another Isner, Mahut on the horizon?

[Kayroo]

Lmao never had you down for full blown talking through your arse hypocrisy
Asides from the general load of inane claptrap that is I assume we will hear no more from you on the subject of Dublin hurling

In the meantime why don't you stick it up your gash as you join Lloyd and opr in the sin bin of ridonkulous sports posts

Ha, ok first of all much as I love Dublin GAA in general I'm more of a football man but, of course, you are dead right. Dublin's use of non-Dublin based players in hurling shouldn't be allowed. Ever hear me say any different? Dublin hurling are the mercenaries to end all mercenaries. We spent obscene amounts of money on the development of hurling in the capital and still got stuffed by KK the other day (great article in today's Irish Independent about KK hurling by the way if you're interested).

By the way nothing I said about Kildare, Dublin or Meath was wrong nor was it logically inconsistent. I am glad to see that you can resort to downright nastiness when you feel like it though.

[tipp86]

I have until half 9 to secure my ticket for the 180 seat sunday blast satt im on 6k i need at least 15k.

Edit:13k mmmm this could be interesting.

What are peoples thoughts on Platini's plan/dream to have the 2020 euros to have 12host cities? Seems a bit strange

Just a good photoshop for the record

cant see it happening, sounds a bit unrealistic.

[ArmaniJeans]

I posted earlier on it - imo its not a serious proposal by MP - what he is doing is basically begging other countries (Italy, Germany) to go up against Turkey for 2020 because of the risk of Turkey not being able to host it if they get the Olympics. The only other bids on the table are nonsense.

UEFA shoe-horned themselves into a corner by effectively guaranteeing it to Turkey, but not actually 'officially' declaring it a successful bid.

[pgodkin]

Names list so far for the Big One WSOP Event.

I wonder what edge the players think they have in this? Seems like there are quite a few business men in it.

Kind of glad i didnt play it in the end, it's not the easiest looking tourny to win!

[Jaysoose]

Commiserations, with some help and counselling you may be able to recover from this most empty and time consuming of addictions.
I'm clean 15 years now and hopefully there will be no more relapses until I go senile and can find nothing interesting to fill my time with.

Dont know if your being an arse for no reason with this or are taking the mickey. Either way i disagree with the entire content of this post.

So what's better for the pros in this one drop yoke? A table full of fish business men that you can bust and chip up(which some have drawn) or the table of death where your playin the best and if you survive you have takin out some top pros and have a big big chance of busting a fish that bust all the other fish for all the monies???

I never said they were stupid, I'd hazard a guess that they for the most part are smarter than the pros, but the pros will still have a decent edge on them even if they re keen poker players. There is a fairly enormous difference between being a good player and being Philip Ivey.

[nicnicnic]

Sexton sold his shares in party for over 20 million, although is rumored to have done it in on sports -

De Wolfe entry is interesting

[Raekwon]

Seriously?

The question wasn't were u a dick yo? Some pros have gotten a very soft draw in this tourney. The question is would you like to hit the luck box straight away or after you have out played your fellow poker professionals that have already chipped up?
