Re: What % of major tourney players are backed by sheets/bax?

As cbloom said, I've heard these stories in my gossip trip to vegas, about Men's team. I've heard a more specific story, which was about Ivey's horses and the full tilt pros in the 50k WSOP HORSE tournament.
From what I've heard, Ivey and certain other key players for the team got the horses to dump chips at them in critical times, especially during the bubbles. Ivey was very shortstacked a number of times on the bubble, but recovered quickly.
Obviously I did not hear that directly from the player who complained, so I can't assure it happen.

Personally speaking, and without in evidence, I would be stunned if Ivey employed horses to chip dump. He is simply just too good to employ such tactics IMO.
And someone mentioned the Hendon Mob in this thread. I have absolute proof they do not softplay or chip dump. I was on the same table as Ram Vaswani and Ross Boatman for the EPT at Dublin. Ross ko'ed Ram within 2 hours. The same thing happened at the Masterclassics in Amsterdam.
