[Within the past few months it has been mentioned Ivey had over 700k in cranberries in a ziplock bag that he completely forgot he had.

I am very new to the forums so don't make too much fun of me that I don't know the lingo, but what the heck is a cranberry? How can you fit 500k worth of them in a ziploc bag? I'm very confused.

cranberries are the nickname for the $25000 chips at the Bellagio

so 700k in cranberries is 28chips

so is this challenge gonna happen?

actually, this feat has already been accomplished.

I'm pretty sure ADZ ran 600$ into millions in <1 year.
Leatherass was playing 1/2nl in april and has won >600k since and will certainly pass $1M before next april.

Anyone who can win $1.2M in a year playing cash games can do this. This feat is not as much a test of poker skill as a test of discipline.

Also, i would bet up to 50k on personally accomplishing this if someone would like to give me odds.

edit: actually, idk exactly what i would bet(50k would seem small if i'm going to win 1M from playing anyway)- i'd like to hear some offers. Even if you wouldn't personally make the bet, what kind of bet would be in order for this? Something like 2% of my year's winnings: 100k.
