Phil Ivey will be forced to pay $5 million US dollars if he does not win two WSOP bracelets within two years. We are all well known with the prop bets the poker pros are making on the side of their games. Not too long ago we saw Tom 'durrrr' Dwan make a $1 million bet that Phil Ivey would not be able to stay on a vegetarian diet for one year. This ended with Ivey buying himself out of the bet for the whole sum.

After the loss of $1 million US dollars the once again meat eating pro has now made yet another big bet along with Howard Lederer. Daniel Negreanu revealed during WPT that Ivey will be forced to pay $5,000,000.00 if he does not win two WSOP bracelets during 2010 and 2011.

Do not worry

For those who fear the worst we are happy to let you know that Ivey is good for well over $100 million US dollars so there is no reason to shed any tears should he not be able to win the bet.
