That's probably not that bad, It is probably reasonable that each is
about 10% against the field, Taking into account money differences.

I think Shulman has a better chance than either of these two. But all
and all I have seen worse bets.

if you think Moon is 10% against the field ..you are more insane than
negraneau

Moon has ~30% of the chips, which would be his expected chance to win
if skill levels were equal. Even if you think he's just a card-
catching donk, I don't see how you can rate his chances at less than
15-20% with his stack.

In 3 of the last 6 Main Events, the chipleader coming to the final
table won going away (Moneymaker, Raymer, and Gold). Hachem took
awhile to get the lead but dominated once he did. Yang went from 8th
to 1st very quickly and never lost the chip lead once he got it. Only
Eastgate had the lead and lost it before going on to win (he briefly
fell behind Demidov headsup).

As far as Ivey goes, I expect him to come out aggressively looking to
double up early. I think he's close to 10%, but I won't be surprised
at all if he finishes 8th or 9th.

Maybe, there will be no way to prove this though. So it is judgement
against judgement.

I think that they are getting publicity, and that the bet essentially
won't mean anything most of the time.
