Watched maybe 20%. I was unaware that the match was 25000 hands! Good start by DN. How long is the next 24k plus hands supposed to take?

Will they play each other exclusively until the 25K hand mark or will they take time off to play elsewhere?

I heard they will play each other at least 4 days a week and more days if they agree. Also they will play 12,500 hands and then the loser at that time will have the option to quit or continue the last 12,500 hands.

They are also playing two tables at once so that will speed it up.

The first 200 hands

Thank you for sharing. I can't imagine anyone paying specifically for this. I saw enough with the free preview. Thanks again.

I watched the live hands. Those were slow going but interesting. The online hands will be much faster but I believe they agreed not to show hole cards (even much later). That makes it far less interesting to me. I will be checking in from time to time to see how it�s going.

If anyone gives you 10,000 to 1 on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude.

He ran reeeeaaaaallly bad in the 3hrs of play in that video.

edit:

dnegs lost $300k in that 3hr session.

My guess is Polk will be up about 25 buy ins at the 12,500 hand mark.
