Jason Mercier Bracelet Bet vs. Vanessa Selbst (1 Viewer)

Honestly I'm probably not the best person to ask since I typically don't follow the WSOP all that closely, but if you put a gun to my head I'd prob eyeball it at 7: or 8:1.
He was very close on getting a third - one spot away, to be exact. Getting a third is 'historically' a distant possibility, but it wouldn't surprise me the least, if it happened. To be fair, I want it to happen, and see the look on Vanessa's face, before and after she pays up $1.8M. If she welches out, I'll lost total respect in her.
If Mercier doesn't get his third, I'm sure he'll easily shrug off the $10K loss.
Seriously, I'd put the over/under on her penis at about 6.

The publicity alone is well worth the 10k if Jason doesn't get the third... I think he will tho.
She hedged. At this point Mercier will be paid either in significant part or in whole by Mike McDonald (Timex).
If thats the case, why does she seem to be so worried about it?
I haven't been following after I posted the OP so I don't know how much she has expressed worries after she hedged with Timex.

Are the terms of the hedge known?
Not to me.

It's worth noting that in the 40+ year history of the WSOP, there have never been so many tournaments -- for the first 20-25 years there were only 15-20, so even though the fields were small, it was pretty freaking hard to win three of them. And the fact that people actually care about winning them so much is a fairly recent phenomenon -- the best players would pick and choose tournaments and often pass on them in favor of juicy cash games.
Ivey won quite a few in a small time span simply because of bracelet bets back in the FTP days. Now he rarely plays because he can't win any money from Howard Lederer if he wins. I'm not sure anyone has ever had as much motivation to win as Mercier has right now.

Vanessa SelbstVerified account@VanessaSelbstI lost almost 100k in buyouts and I still have many of you brilliant Twitter minds saying I welched on a bet. Autoblock mode engaged
Vanessa SelbstVerified account@VanessaSelbstFor those wondering, I hedged for a lot of it (not w Jason) but still have a decent sweat. Gave a bunch of others something to sweat w me.
I've been wondering this myself. I can't believe that Timex would be dumb enough to make any deal with Vanessa that would result in any kind of significant hedge for her.
BTW, what's the deal with Jason's dog being at the table?
Dog's name is Marshmallow evidently which is pretty sweet. One of the stud regs at Borg used to have a service dog with him that supposedly smelled diabetes or some shit. Googled it when he first told me and it was apparently a real thing. If I ever get diabetes I'm taking my dog everyfuckingwhere.

My dog smells fear, and steak (not necessarily in that order).
He's just trying to tell if his blood sugar is low.
I almost went somewhere else with this statement but I like stocky
You went there! LOL
Looks like the streaming schedule for tonight lists the $10k O8 OR the Super Seniors $1k NLHE event.
If they stream the goddamn old people and not the sweat for Mercier's #3 David Tuchman is going to get blown up to hell and back on Twitter.
EDIT: Can't believe @courage liked this post. I know he was planning to sweat the Super Seniors event to see what kind of new tricks the kids have these days.
