Hmm, Durrr vs Antonius would be sick as well, not sure which one would be sicker...

why would he be sweating when its exacly what he wanted? I mean its pretty obv it was among those guys to accept this challenge. And at least in Degenyamines case i think hes rather drooling!

PA is has more discipline and its a tad more conservative than Ivey who tries to get into their opponents heads and its willing to push smaller edges so it would be a much more interesting match against durrr imo.

Hmm, I obviously never played the guys so hard to tell but I think somewhere around Cardrunners (I think it was CTS plays LarsLurzak vid) that CTS said that PA has kind of a unique HU style with some definite leaks back then. But since his style is so unique and noticably different from those other nosebleed regulars I think that'd really add some nice dynamics and all to the match.

Nontheless, both would be insanely awesome matches. Even Benyamine would be cool probably a lot on PLO but that'd probably be the least interesting of the three.

Thing is, Durrr makes it an interesting match not really mattering who he plays, he is probably one of the sickest hero's to ever live.

o my god im gonna orgasm from just reading this.

and btw if durr plays degenamine first hes gonna have such a sick time

imo he should own him pretty hard and then he'll have a sick confidence+ bankroll boost when it comes to patrick and ivey.

one more opinion of mine is that antonious is def another underdog and durr will beat him down too but to less of an extent as degenamine. and who knows ivey might even duck him when it comes his turn. obviously that wouldn't be characteristic of ivey but when its that much money on the line peoples egos get set aside.

you guys understimate benyamine in PLO imo,

What you dont see is that the side money of $500k for all ben,ivey and PA is such a small amount. Just like ivey said there is a huge chance someone is going to loose 5-10mil if they keep playing.
Also they usually play the 100k game so for them its only 5buy-ins.

So im sure as soon as they loose 1mil in a 40k game they will call it quite and then again Durr will be ending up with only 1.5mil addition to his bank roll which is not a "huge boost" for him.

sick stuff, cant wait to rail

IMO Durr is more likly to loose in his first match.

And I dont know about DB or Durr PLO skills but what I know that PLO is extremly swingy specially at this level.
There are two things that can happen
1) As soon as Durr hits down 1mil he is going to call off the bet ending up down 2.5mil. And its GG.
2) DB can end down 1mil and still keep going till he knows it will only cost him 500k to get out.

Now if Durr doesnt stop after being down 1mil. He knows two more games just as tough if not tougher are about to come after this. Making him way more inclinded to be off guard off his game.

1.5 million dollars is a fairly size-able boost to anyone playing poker regularly besides Laliberte.

Btw, I think Ivey is spot on in that there's a very real chance that someone (Benyamine maybe?) gets significantly damaged from this. Nosebleed HU PLO for that many hands is ricockulous. Who knows though. Which makes this super f'ing interesting as if it weren't already.

Also, I think people would be surprised at how much ego might play a factor in one not quitting. Despite the stakes.

I side bet my 500 to anyone's 1500 and I pick DB vs Durr.

Or other amounts if you guys want to at the same odds.

Anyone??!

Sick that Ivey knows he can lose up to $10M and still wants to play, lulz.

DB vs durrr will probably be DB raping durrr at PLO with durrr raping DB at NL...just going to see who can win the best. I think durrr will probably pull it out cuz he'll own in NL and runs like god so he will win all the PLO flips

jesus, i mean i have no clue about them, but you people its just like u have no idea whatesoever who you are talking about.... Benyamine does not destroy Dwan in PLO HU, however Dwan's edge in NLHE is much bigger, also Dwan does not run like god, given his losseness any kind of luck swing is massive, ive seen Dwan run like insane shit this year many times.

are they playing mix or only PLO? didnt durr says its only one game the whole 50k?
