Schulman,Ivey,Moon probably in that order.
God help you at poker news if it's true.Another CardPlayer photo frontpage lol
Dreaming in tecnicolour the experts are.
The one with the most to gain & the least to lose will be rewarded or turfed. The three players in this category are Joe Cada, James Akenhead, and Antoine Saout. Therefore it is reasonable one of these three will make it to the final three.
James is too tight, Antoine will wait too long, & Joe Cada has the best chance of making the right move at the right time to chip up.
Since Phil Ivey will either increase his chip stack by swinging a pickaxe in the Davin Moon Chip Mines or be turfed in the process, Moon - Ivey is a private dance, the winner of which goes to the top three.
Begleiter should take out Shulman and should get a special prize for doing so.
So I will go with the final three Cada Begleiter, either Moon or Ivey.
Cada will win if he makes the top three.
