Another off topic post, but at the Rio during the WSOP, I was playing craps and doing my stupid hard eight bets when the stickman told me that John Pham had been there the night before and put $700 on the hard eight. It hit and he pressed it, and it hit again for $70,000. I didn't think the limits were that high, but this came directly from the stickman.

I know that Mizrachi was 100% staked in his tournies. I'm guessing he got between 40 and 50% of what he won. Not sure about the broke part.

He probably played at the $50 / $100 min. split craps table. One side has a $50 min, the other a $100 min. It was at the latter, during the WSOP, that I saw a Greek gentleman get a marker for $50k and proceed to explain to everyone that his nephew is learning the game. First roll... 7 out.

I know Mike a bit and I am pretty sure he is not busto.
P.S. he has a very solid staker, however. -Brad |

I played baccarat a few months back with his backer at the bellagio. I do not know their arrangement but I’m sure its lucrative for both parties. -Brad |
