Phil Ivey vs. Andy Beal
Just read an article on pokernews.com that said Beal had apprently taken the $10 M stake the corporation had initially put up. Now supposedly they are back at it with Phil Ivey playing. After the first day of play Ivey is supposedly up $6 M.

Re: Phil Ivey vs. Andy Beal

Re: Phil Ivey vs. Andy Beal
In Cardplayer's report, this was noted at the bottom:
[ QUOTE ] Note: A source close to Howard Lederer confirmed that he was a long-time member of the Corporation and had also considered coming out of retirement for a repeat run against Beal. [/ QUOTE ] Anybody know what this means? Is Howard Lederer retired from poker or just the Beal game?
