He was wearing Full Tilt gear throughout the main event until the final table due to the no more than 3 player for same online site rule he represented Pokerstars.
joe cada's full tilt ID is: jcada99
I'm pretty sure Cada wore Ultimatebet gear in the latter stages, not Full Tilt.
I stand corrected you are correct sir. Someone did however have full Tilt gear then switch to pokerstars.
thanks for the clear up because I know some pros play on full tilt without being highlighted in red
Annette Obrestad is an example.............Annette_15
Eric Buchman switched from FullTilt to PokerStars. He only had a day to day contract with FT.Probably a result of the new WSOP rules - they're not allowed to have more than three players at a table wearing the same logo. Ivey, Akenhead and Begleiter (from memory) were the ones wearing Full Tilt logos so if there was a fourth wearing Full Tilt in the leadup to the final table they would've had to change.
I have always wondered: How much "extra" money does a player receive just for wearing a patch/sticker from a poker website? Does anyone know the "average going rate"? I remember earlier in the WSOP Main Event that Ivey did NOT want to be a the "featured table" and the rest of the players that could have been at the t.v. table became upset about this. Anyone else read/hear about this?
Yes. Pro are different as they have contracts prior to tourneys-some even have there entry paid. The 'regular player' that plays at a featured table I read once will be offered around 12,000 dollars. This is why they were upset as they aready had deals done when Ivey said he did not want to play at the feature table. As I remember the player would get $12,000 dollars but they have to sign though a agent that takes $2,000 leaving them with 10 grand. I also heard this figure on another forum as they were discussing whether this money should be shared with backers. This figure I'm sure is subject to change for a whole lot of reasons though.
does pokerstars sign everyone who wins a main event lol chris moneymaker...
