Does Schwartz Have More Than 50% of Himself or Not? Winter Thinks Not
We stumbled upon an interesting conversation between Noah Schwartz and Sean Winter. Apparently, Winter didn't believe that Schwartz had more than 50% of himself in this tournament. With $100,000 buy-in, it's common practice for the participants to sell pieces of their action or be staked. Schwartz was adamant that he had over 50% of himself and even said that he took 40% of himself in the World Series of Poker $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop when he played it, a million dollar buy-in.
The two went back and forth for a little bit, and then Schwartz laid Winter 10-1 on his money for a bet — Schwartz's $30,000 to Winter's $3,000. Winter agreed, the two shook hands, and the bet was booked.
But, how do they determine the truth? That's what the others at the table wanted to know. Winter and Schwartz both said it would be done via a lie detector test. In order to determine the outcome of the bet, Schwartz would take one and the results would decide who won.
"Call me when you're in Miami," Schwartz said. "We'll set it up."
Schwartz was confident that it was the easiest $3,000 he's ever made, and he was vocal about such, ribbing Winter a bit about making the bet.
"I already told my girl to go get a handbag," he said with a big laugh. "Signed by Sean Winter."
