WSOP 2015: Highlights from the Poker World Series
Sorel Mizzy loves to make extreme bets. In May 2014, he swam 5 km in open water as a bet, and in June he announced a new adventure: a MMA fight with Luke Schwartz after a year of training. Ryan Fee immediately offered to bet $1,000 that the MMA match between Sorel Mizzy and Luke Schwartz would not happen.
Daniel Negreanu's agent, Brian Balsbaugh, noted changes in sponsorship contracts for finalists: from 2007 to 2010, players advancing to the November Nine received at least $100k and a $1 million bonus for winning, but in 2015, they were offered only $50k.
Cristiano Ronaldo visited a poker club in Melbourne, Australia, and posted a photo on Instagram.

Phil Hellmuth celebrated his birthday on July 16th, and received tips from various people, including valets and limo drivers.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
