Andy Beal is what poker players call an "angel": a wealthy, wealthy man who likes to play against the pros. He specializes in HU limit play.

The Corporation™ wrote all the big hits for the Jackson 5 in the 60s, so they can afford to spend money on poker.

Then we might as well say rumor has it that his bankroll is over ten thousand dollars. Technically, it's true, but not very accurate.

The guy has reportedly lost over 15 million this week.

if they're playing LHE, then i'm sure Harman is a better challenge than Ivey.

Yes. Exactly. That was the joke that you missed.
