Obviously Doyle is saying that to make even more hype around the show, even though it's the truth for some of them

Lineup:
Antonio Esfandiari <- I'd guess about $2-3 mill
Sam Farha <- Probably worth $10 mill+
David Benyamine <- -$$$
Patrik Antonius <- Probably worth $10 mill+
Guy Laliberté >> billionaire
Jamie Gold <- PROBABLY worth $10 mill+
Doyle Brunson <- Probably worth $10 mill+
Barry Greenstein <- Probably worth $10 mill+

BR is another case, I'd say people have action (40%+) in David Benyamine (who in this lineup!?), Barry Greenstein and Antonio Esfandiari

Comments are welcome

The above player in bold,is the ONLY player that is 100% accurate.I cannot even fathom how any of these other estimates were obtained,accurate,or verified?

As stated by Doyle,...Guy is the ONLY one that should truly be putting up this kind of money/can afford to play these stakes next week on HSP

I would agree with his opinion as well [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I definitely think PA, Ivey and Doyle are good for 10m$.. They've won an insane amount of money.

Didn't "BloodsweatandTears" Say that in order to play comfortably you need 100 buy ins. 500k x 100 = 500million BR. I guess everyone is under rolled for this game besides Guy Laliberte. Doyle is right!

Jamie Gold must have a damn deathwish with regards to his own money to sit in a game that size with that line-up. The only guy in that game that I don't think is a significant favorite to Gold is Guy (and I doubt Guy is anything but a small dog to Gold).

I'm sure Gold's selling some of his action, but my question is, who the hell is buying it in this game?

everyone underestimates how much gamble these guys have with their net worth, and overestimate their worth/earnings

This is a very accurate observation.

yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. i don't think there are all that many poker pros who are worth more than a couple million.

the guys that have the real money are the guys who have great business deals (hellmuth), pieces of the online poker sites, or to a lesser extent, play regularly with the super wealthy in private games.

Is this a thinly veiled brag Taylor?

i wish, but no. i'm talking about businesses or sponsorships that are making much more than i or any internet player is making from poker/poker related projects.

Amen. We can write theorize into the next century how much we 'think' ppl are worth but never know concrete figures on ppl's BR or how it's managed or how much of their action is staked etc. And as stated in previous replies, net worth != BR. That kind of thinking is for morans imobbq.

Topic should really be: Theorize what you THINK big name pro's BRs are.

Any of you personal bankers for any of these guys? Doubt it. And if you are, want to risk your job for a bunch of railtards? (see previous answer)
