Wow this deal convo would be extremely interesting. I'm not familiar with big mtt live deals, but always wondered what/if a ME deal would be like where you would factor in possible deals with poker sites/other companies and stuff like that.

Also, considering Eli a "fish" is a huge miscalulation IMHO. Never met the guy or played with him. I would think that he would play enough poker (like alot of us here) vs. regular pros that he would take it just as serious as we do. Not to mention the time he puts in with arguably the top players in the world on a dailey basis in a mixed game format. I think Barry's deal was good...ANd would be a good bet against anyone in the world, let alone Eli. BUT, for the amount of money Eli supposably has, and the amount of poker her plays (POKER...not just NLHE MTTs) that he would enter enough WSOP events and have a decent shot at winning a bracelt in say a 5-10 year span.

But 10:1 on a single year is still not the right price. And since im a book maker (which i'm not) I'd take prices like this for next year if people want action. Also, its funny that I wouldn't even wager 10:1 on say, Ivey/DN winning bracelts in a single year, but if someone would mention a TOP mtt player...someone that could/would play alot of WSOP events and not just NLHE, I would have to think twice about taking that action, but probably still would.
