Daniel Negreanu told PL.com reporter Martin Derbyshire about a $5 million bracelet bet between Ivey and his fellow Full Tilt bigwig Howard Lederer.
It's an even-money bet that will take place over the next two years of WSOPs. Ivey's betting that he can take down two bracelets in that time. Lederer is not convinced.
Ivey will likely play close to 80 bracelet events in that time and puts himself at better than 40 to 1 to win the average WSOP event. Considering he won two bracelets in as many weeks in 2009, and had a three-bracelet year back in 2002, two bracelets in two years is eminently achievable.
What does everyone think, who got the best of this bet? If there's one thing I've learned in the last few years, it's not to bet against Phil Ivey.
