I wonder how good a hand he would fold to make it up one pay spot.

[/ QUOTE ]

There is no pay spot. 9th and 10th gets the same amount. This is strictly TV exposure for one single hand.

I got my money on Phil Ivey
If not him, Doyle should take his 11th and the Crown back from ScFish

You know, Chip isn't some complete donkey when it comes to NL Hold em.

What starting blinds can we expect? $5,000-$10,000?

I don't get it. How can he fold for 13k more? According to CP, 12-9 gets the same amount of money.

He wants that <60 seconds of ESPN exposure he'll be getting?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Maybe he knew Chip had him beat and he decided to hang on for a few minutes of TV time. Also he can now add "2006 WSOP HORSE Final Table" to his resume, which he wouldn't have been able to do if he lost that hand.

10k/20k I thought was mentioned earlier.

I'm pulling for Chip, his status as the best allround poker player and this being a mixed game, he deserves it.

[True North]

They're starting at 9 PM PST. At least they can get some sleep before coming back to do the interviews for ESPN.

Having Tomko/Cloutier HU would be awkward
