I was going to save this for my blog but thought I would just share with you here:

I just had lunch with an impeccably reliable friend who had talked to the dealer from the Gutshot club who dealt this game. He told me that the prop bets were so large that they influenced the action. So, for example Ivey would avoid playing two hearts if he had a bet on a certain colour flop. And the total amount Ivey won in prop bets over the course of the game? $750,000!!!
