No. The character is named Ari Gold, but he's based on a notoriously abrasive agent named Ari Emanuel.

No, he's not talking about ari, he's talking about vince. Mark Wahlberg produces the show or something and the premise is loosely based on his rise to stardom.

Those bets were all made on pinnaclesports.com, but my betting has drastically altered the lines, and I don't think there is much value left.

Jamie Gold is a Bodog qualifier. Here's what they say on him:

LAS VEGAS - Bodog player Jamie Gold may have an edge on the competition.

The film producer recently shot a show on Johnny Chan. In return, the famed poker pro taught Gold to play cards. His lessons must have paid off as Gold has placed in the money in the last few tournaments he's played.

As Chan is also playing today, we're hoping for a teacher/student match up. Then we'll see how well Gold paid attention!

Andrew Black found a way to donk away a huge stack last year, while Joe Hachem nursed his short stack, picked his spots, and went on to win the bracelet.

In other words, a big stack is nice, but it's anything but a guarantee.

[/ QUOTE ]

don't forget that Black had a nice suckout on Tim Phan with AQ on an A high flop to go runner runner full house after Tim flopped a set of 10s...



[/ QUOTE ]

don't forget the money went in preflop.

also, don't forget that hachem won with Q7 against 99, won another coinflip and had AQ hold over K9.

black, meanwhile, lost a coinflip and lost with 9T to A6 on a 965 flop.

there's still lots of time for gold to stop winning all the chips.

I guess they are starting out playing 30K/60K. The average stack has about 3.2M or 53xBB. This is deeper than a typical Internet tournament, live daily tournament, or WPT final table, but shallower than a cash game. There are a lot of short stacks with 10-20xBB, so I would expect some allins preflop with open pushes or reraises/resteals. There should be several bust outs in the next round.

[Kevmath]

There's still about 1.5 hours left in the 25/50/5k level.
