As I recall, Chip is the guy who said that he only started playing tournaments over the last few years because his kids were asking him why they never saw him on TV.

Same with Chau.

Also, the one TV final table Chip made at the World Poker Open was an event he played because the high stakes players have a good relationship with the Binion family.

Funny thing if Chip wins, he'll get lots of attention, then go back to crushing cash games.

It looks like there's 7190k in tournement chips in play. which gives Patrik Antonius about 1/546 of the chips in play against the top poker players in the world. I think 200/1 is a horrible bet.

[Miles Ahead]

It's an abysmal bet.

I put $250 on Antonius so I can enter next year's 50k. GO PAT!!
