This could hurt. Andy Bloch made a bet against Ivey winning the WSOP main event. No mention of the amount.

No mention of the amount, but he did tweet earlier, "Won 170 points at Chinese Poker last night, unfortunately not at 15k a point or I'd be able to pay Ivey/Gus from my winnings." That implies about $2.5M worth of bet.

I wonder if he will try to buy his way out of it or just hold on and hope for the best. Tough sweat for four months.

If Ivey wins the WSOP, Andy's worth goes up > 2.5 M. He has actually diversified his portfolio by making this bet.

His best scenerio may be Ivey takes 2nd.
