Re: Blinds?
[ QUOTE ]
Mike Matusow just said Allen will get an extra 10 mil if he wins since he qualified on FT. $22 mil would be quite a pay day. [/ QUOTE ] General consensus is that the FTP $10mm "bonus" is a crock. It's 1mm/year over ten years for an endorsement contract, and it's worth more than that. I read that Hachem got more than that for a 4 year deal. That said, given that AC is already a "Full Tilt Pro", his deal is not necessarily in line with your average Joe Schmoe.

[/ QUOTE ] This may be semantics or it may not, but Allen is a Friend of Full Tilt and not one of the core pros. From what I understand this has more to do with performance bonuses than staking, but I'm not certain. Edit: ie. his deal is probably more in line with Joe Schmoe's than, for example, if this were Phil Ivey.

If you guys had to bet on a winner, would you take.... Cunningham and Gold or The Other 7 Cunningham/Gold have right about 50% of the chips in play... Thoughts? [/ QUOTE ] Since you asked, I'd take the other seven. If asked to pick one, it would be Cunningham, but otherwise.... I'd take chip stack odds against Gold. Nothing against Gold, I just don't find him particularly great.
