hah prob bet fopr them this is the lowest amount they can afford too and they will take a lot of bets and they have a lot of money so it is just loose change for them but i am glad for them doing so well they deserve it with the skills they got and being in the game for so long! Anyway good luck to them hope one of them wins it!

so what are the odds, i might fork a million or two for both of them not getting a single bracelet if i get anything close to evens... even a 56 players field is not easy to beat, since we're talking about a single tourney and as you know those AA's do get cracked from time to time

I wouldn#t put a dime on that bet. How easy is it for either of them to influence whether they win or not? They can easily play s**t and win money from bets against them (assuming there's some dodgy thing going on here...) which tbh when poker players announce this sort of s**t there's always an edge for them somewhere somehow.
Paul Volpe 783,000 Jason Mercier 469,000 Daniel Negreanu 426,000 Brian Rast 390,000 Larry Wright 203,000 John Monnette 169,000 Abe Mosseri 162,000
Well that's the chipcounts for event #13 and whoever accepted to bet against them is probably having a squeaky bum time as Daniel is in pretty good shape there.
