An Interesting Prop Bet

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 5

"Hey Daniel," Shaun Deeb shouted. "We need your opinion on something."

Daniel Negreanu, who's never short on opinions, turned his attention to Deeb.

"What's more likely, Epic [Poker] running their free roll, or Full Tilt [Poker] coming back?" Deeb asked.

"Full Tilt," Negreanu responded without a moment's thought. "Though neither will happen."

"What kind of odds will you give me?" Robert Mizrachi piped up.

"There's a chance that they both come back," John Hennigan added.

"Not if they're run by SCUMBAGS," Negreanu responded, elevating his voice a bit on the end.

The debate is still raging on about this interesting prop, but it doesn't look like any wagers are going to be made.
