Landon“AbsoluteGO” Tice vs. Bill “Gas Trader” Perkins
Godzilla vs. King Kong? Larry Bird vs. Magic Johnson? Nope.
More like David vs. Goliath.
Why you ask? Because one of these two players will be taking his seat this historic $200/$400 heads up NLH poker battle with a monster head start….to the tune of $720k.
THE LOWDOWN
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Perkins and 22-year-old up-and-coming tournament poker sensation Landon Tice have agreed to terms to a mano e mano cash game poker duel. An enormous 20k hand clash with insane blinds of $200/$400 (excuse me while I fetch a Kleenex to wipe the blood off my nose).
The kicker? Bill Perkins gets a $720k head-start to the battle. That’s an unprecedented 9 big blinds per 100 hands.
WHY?
Tice put it all on the line and offered Perkins this massive lead to entice him to play. Frankly, you don’t need to be a hedge fund manager to take advantage of a good deal when you see one, and Perkins jumped on it.
