Table Talk

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Table 1 is chattering like a group of schoolgirls right now, and the conversation has come around to Jason Mercier's free money yesterday. We reported yesterday that Phil Laak paid him $1,000 to learn Mercier's net worth once a year for life, and that's of the more interesting props we can remember.

When we joined the conversation, Vivek Rajkumar was asking Antonio Esfandiari if he'd take the same bet.

"For $1,000?" Esfandiari asked. "No way. Well, it depends who it was. For Phil, no chance. Zero."

"What about me?" Vivek asked. "Or Jason?"

"Probably not," Esfandiari eventually answered.

From across the table, Daniel Negreanu piped up. "How do you even calculate that sort of thing? Isn't it really hard?"

There was a brief moment of silence before Mercier spoke up: "It's easier when you don't have that much."

Chuckles all around.
