Hellmuth Wanders; Prop Bets and Debts

[user67765]

Phil Hellmuth is doing the rounds of the tables again and has just dropped by the table of Barry Greenstein, Greg Raymer, Ted Forrest and Jeff Lisandro.

Hellmuth was overheard chatting to Forrest about the Mike Matusow weight-loss bet with Forrest saying, "Mike will definitely lose that bet money back to me some way!"

Raymer then comments that he should buy up somebody's owed debt which leads to Forrest replying, "...there should be a website - bidonpokerdebts.com - there would probably be a market for it!"
