    All the top 9 are millionaires now, right? I can't believe this lad Moon qualified for $100 in his local game. Superb stuff.

    I wonder do they get paid for 9th place now, or do they have to wait til November? That would suck for the likes of Moon, but then I guess his credit is good if he needs to borrow a few grand. :p
    They all get paid 9th place now i think. They did last year.

    25% of Akenhead, and 66-1 on Ivey to FT. He's probably gtd 400K out of everything so far....

    €6700 I would hope unless the oddball is in the habit of betting €98.50 stakes randomly.

    Tis great for the game to get a top pro on the FT. I have Ivey in my wsop dream team...Fingers crossed he gets me into the top 3 places now or even tied for 3rd will do. :)

    Well if other players are calling off their tournament stack with AQ on a J,10,8 flop then I think Ivey still has a lot of hope even with 6.5m.

    Seriously how do you call off that bet when the other guy has you covered, down to the last 15 in the WSOP main event?!

    It's called pressure and most of these guys are small buyin sat qualifiers who will have never experienced this kind of heat before.

    Like an elastic band at some point they just snap with the finishing line in sight.

    Edit: Just read further into the thread and to LLoyds post. Guess the guy had his reasons but it's a big call in that spot with what's on the line

    Absolutely delighted with that final lineup and it will give a real interest for November. A few known names, including the biggest one around, and a bit of European interest as well.

    Thanking you for the quick response. Last years photo was better as they were all reaching for the bracelet, but ill forgive that for this years line up. I would easily pay to see this line up do battle in November

    No probs. This is the first 'official' shot released by Harrah's and the only one so far. There may be others to follow.

    Might head over to this myself :cool:

    Thank God Ivey made it for interest purposes, shame he doesn't have more chips. The guy is just unreal. Was thinking of heading over to Vegas in November, travel agents are basically giving away flights and accommodation to Vegas in November atm.

    You're the third person to suggest this on this forum alone. Also, this is not the typical homeland of the Ivey fan boy.

    Book ASAP if you really plan to IMO. Suspect that Vegas may be black (pardon the pun) come November.

    There is also a good Venetian festival on for the month of November (details tbc) so could mix some poker in.

    Hell might try get over for a week seen as i missed out in June/July:D

    Why not 4 Kings?

    Also lol at Morzadec eidting his post to delete his comment about the 40%.

    Lol I somehow make the same mistake as 5starpool and missed the Kings as outs!

    In fairness I edited my post before you pointed out the fact he was 35% though!

    Fail to see the problem, u can get married next year, you may not get to rail ivey on the FT next year, but then again he'll probably go back to back
