Online high-stakes pro Ben Grundy is ready to bet big money that his online PLO results are not fake.
In late 2009 Grundy published a graph, that showed he had won nearly eight million U.S. dollars by playing Pot-Limit Omaha on a number of different online poker sites.
Later, a new thread began on TwoPlusTwo, questioning the accuracy of his graphs and Grundy has wasted no time putting his money where his mouth is.
Grundy has issued a challenge on his blog that will let skeptics put up $60K if they doubt his ability to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s pulled that much money in playing online poker:
"Also, another thread has come up on 2+2, with some people challenging the validity of my lifetime results at PLO. Its just become boring now so i've issued the following bet.
Terms of the bet if anyone wants it:
- If i can't prove beyond doubt that i've won at least $5,000,000 I'll pay out $60,000
- If i can prove beyond dount that i've won at least $5,000,000 I win only $30,000
To motivate me to get closer to the $8 million in winnings, i'd like a bonus of $20,000 for each addition million proved.
So if i prove $5,100,000 for example i win $30,000. I win $50,000 if i prove between $6,000,000 and $7,000,000 etc", Grundy tells.
Grundy also tells, that he plans to take on Viktor Blom in the Isildur Challenge within the next couple of months if he can play PLO only.
