Esp when he can afford the 10k alot easier then prob 9,000 of the people who entered that tourney or more lol prob not too many people in that tourney has more money then him prob only a few hundred who knows but yeah he could have bought all of himself easily

Allegedly he had about 20% of the main event and 7% of the PPC. Not that it takes away from anything, but it is interesting.

I’m shocked at the idea that he only had 7% of himself at the ppc, arguably the most prestigious tournament, which he’d one 3 out of 18 times. Unless he sold at a huge markup. Maybe, if he was near broke?

just for comparison, Dnegs allegedly staked 75% of his income for 2025 WSOP which equates to around $500k from his pocket.

Given the variance in earnings from massive events with a tight payout schedule, it makes all sorts of sense to diversify your exposure by pooling part of the risk. Same sort of thinking might lead someone to hedge and sell part of their exposure.

Investors make this type of decision all the time. Sometimes in the form of an index or mutual fund. Other times in a Real Estate Investment Trust. Many oil & gas projects are undertaken in a partnership to spread the risk out.

It is also quite possible that the most skilled poker players get an overlay where their shares are worth more than the expected value. In that case, the economics of diversification are even stronger.

If only Hero has known how this year was going to turn out -=- DrStrange

I was low key rooting for Kenny Hallaert just cuz his winnings would be tax free.

Grinder is pretty charismatic and hard not to root for him.

Did you actually watch the stream or just a youtube breakdown of the all-in hands?

The stream.

Also ”getting it in bad” is the results. It doesn’t necessarily mean it was bad play. The AK vs KK hand comes to mind for instance.

I mean he was behind when he got it in. You can say that is “results oriented,” but it is on the player to suss out whether he is ahead or behind. Yeah, you can get unlucky and run KK into AA. The AK vs KK hand was more of an outlier among his key hands in that his move was more justified. He totally sucked out on a ton of others, sometimes going runner-runner or hitting 2-6 outers.
