Poker pro Daniel Negreanu is trying to get action for a bracelet bet this summer.
He has offered anyone, and apparently it is really anyone, the chance to bet against him or Phil Ivey winning a bracelet during this summer’s World Series of Poker. Negreanu is offering even money in a wager that one of them will win, and the minimum bet is $5,000.
The maximum bet is $1 million, Negreanu said.
Legendary Las Vegas sports bettor and high-stakes poker player Haralabos Voulgaris said that he thinks the odds are “way better” than 50 percent that one of them wins a bracelet this summer.
The 2014 World Series of Poker starts on Tuesday and features 65 unique tournaments, some of which have small, albeit elite, fields. The $1 million buy-in event, which both will likely play, will feature just 56 players at most, and some will be recreational players.
Negreanu, six bracelets, and Ivey, nine bracelets, are two of the most successful players ever at the summer poker extravaganza, which has been running annually since 1970.
It is worth noting that recent bracelets for Ivey and Negreanu have come in WSOP events held outside of Las Vegas. The Rio hasn’t seen either of them in the winner’s circle since 2010, when Ivey won a $3,000 H.O.R.S.E tournament. Negreanu’s last bracelet in Las Vegas was in 2008.
To reiterate, the bet is only for the 65 events on the schedule this summer, minus events with restricted entry—the Ladies, Seniors and Employees tournaments.
Winning a bracelet this summer could be great news for Ivey, assuming a lot of action is booked. The poker legend is currently facing a $9.6 million lawsuit from the Borgata in Atlantic City. The casino claims he cheated in baccarat last year.
