Some numbers coming in over the Batpod … about deals surrounding the November Nine as they made their way to the main event final table:
According to super-duper-secret well-connected, highly reliable inside sources some guy in Colorado, Peter Eastgate, the 22-year-old from Odense, Denmark, currently sitting 4th in chips was originally a Ladbrokes qualifier. Upon his making the final 72, Ladbrokes offered him $1 million to patch up. Full Tilt then came over the top with $1.75 million, and in the end, PokerStars took it down for $2 million.
(NOTE: What I\’m not sure of are any \”contingencies\” in these deals — whether that\’s $X million up front even if you finish 71st, or $Ythousand right now, and $Z million if you make the final table.)
