Last year, Justin Bonomo bet 7 – 1 that at least one of the poker players from Panorama Towers would win a bracelet in the 2009 WSOP—and—he wasn’t disappointed…Greg Mueller won two bracelets!
Why’d he even make a bet like that? Well, because it is not such a long shot. During the 2009 WSOP, we learned from a conversation between Isaac Haxton and Justin Bonomo who were playing at the same table at the $40K 40th Anniversary No Limit Hold’Em tournament that somewhere between 40 – 80 poker players live in the Panorama Towers (during a WSOP). (I wrote about that conversation, Poker Pros Choose Panorama Towers, last year.)
Well, this year for the 2010 WSOP, Bonomo’s betting 10 – 1 that at least one poker player from Panorama Towers wins a bracelet. Here’s his post announcing this year’s Panorama Towers prop bet on the TwoPlusTwo Forum.

Interest in Justin’s prop bet grew, and the Two Plus Two forum was laden with whine after whine (hear your child’s fussy “Are we there yet?”) about how quickly Justin could post the official list of poker pros living at Panorama Towers who would be included in his prop bet. Justin promised that he would post the official list by midnight 5/28/2010, and sure enough, a couple of days earlier, on 5/26/2010 he posted the official list of poker pros and the terms of the prop bet on Two Plus Two.
Terms: Min bet $1K to Bonomo’s $10K
