bridgey321 vs deaks102 - WSOP 09 Draft Pick

[bridgey321]

Me and deaks have decided to have a friendly prop bet on most $$$ earnt by players in the WSOP 2009. We each picked 5 players and ranked them 1-5. My #1 draft will play deakin's #1 draft and so on.

Saw someone on facebook do this w/ a mate and it looked like a fun idea.

There is a friendly £5 bet on each match up, so there won't be too much money changing hands but it should be lols.

Here is the line up:

Deaks vs Bridgey
Phil Hellmuth Jr. vs Barry Greinstein
Allen Cunningham vs Phil Ivey
Daniel Negraunu vs Bertrand Grospellier
Scotty Nguyen vs John Juanda
Erick Lindgren vs Chris Ferguson

I am pretty confident with my line up so if someone else wants to pick their top 5, I am up for more prop betting!

GAME ON! DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE WARRIOR DEAKS!?

Nice picks...instead of starting a new thread, I'll add other WSOP prop bets here...

I picked 15 of Negreanu's matchups and had draft picks with chriscottis to choose one person from each match. All of the matchups have some history behind them...again most $ in the World Series to win, $5 a pop.
In draft order:

Pick      Chris               Rich
Chris 1   Ivan Demidov        Peter Eastgate
Rich 1    Joe Reitman         Marco Traniello      (Mr. Duke vs. Mr. Harman)
Chris 2   Shaun Deeb          JC Alvarado
Rich 2    Ram Vaswani         Vivek Rajkumar
Chris 3   Allen Cunningham    Phil Ivey
Rich 3    Humberto Brenes     Hevad Khan
Chris 4   Gus Hansen          Doyle Brunson
Rich 4    Barry Greenstein    Chris Ferguson
Chris 5   Tom Dwan            Patrik Antonius
Rich 5    Scotty Nguyen       Erick Lindgren       (HORSE tourney last year)
Chris 6   John Juanda         Erik Seidel
Rich 6    Ziigmund/Bellande   Bertrand Grospellier 
Chris 7   Isabelle Mercier    Erica Schoenberg
Rich 7    Phil Hellmuth       Daniel Negreanu
Chris 8   Phil Laak           Antonio Esfandiari

And finally, Main event entrants for $10:
5417, Rich over, Chris under.

Let the games begin!

Deaks vs Bridgey
Phil Hellmuth Jr. vs Barry Greinstein
Allen Cunningham vs Phil Ivey
Daniel Negraunu vs Bertrand Grospellier
Scotty Nguyen vs John Juanda
Erick Lindgren vs Chris Ferguson

I'd score this one 3-2 to Deaks, with Grospellier beating Negreanu and Juanda beating Scotty.

I might join into this. How much is £5 in USD approximately? Can we make it payable on say pokerstars? Your line up is pretty good.

[James]

£5 is roughly 8-10USD atm.

[Pates]

Just use xe.com and take todays exchange rate.

Does pokerstars show up for you in £'s? I'll be willing to do like $10 a name but I'll need some time to compile my list.

Haha man are you serious with that question? The obvious answer is NO. Its really to obvious for me to list the reasons why all online sites (that i know of) are played stricly in USD. Sure im sure u can deposit in euro, or pound, but all games are played in USD.

[Pates]

Settle it playing HU already.
