Phil Ivey - a great tournament player, feared cash-game icon (online and offline) and quite possibly the best all-around poker player, likes also to gamble and make huge bets. This time he made a $5 million WSOP bracelet bet with Howard Lederer.
According to Pokerlistings.com Ivey wins the bet if he can take down two bracelets over the next two years:
"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."
I really like Ivey's side on this bet, since he won two bracelets 2009, and 2002 he won three bracelets. Who do you think has the edge here, Ivey or Lederer?
