I haven't heard that Ivey is in it yet to those saying they are playing. I think itd be around 50/50 if he's going to play or not. And as for the backing, who cares! Its not like them not paying the full buyin will hurt the actual game for the viewers. I think we've seen the 50k and how intense that is. Lets just say people have 100k in it, it will be very intense. And a chance to lead the all time money earnings will be interesting. Even if someone is in there with a 5% freeroll, they are still trying to win close to a million. Cant wait for this event. July 1!
