    Does anyone have any real idea what % of themselves Esfandiari and Trickett actually owned?

    I'd also be very curious to know if they cooked any kind of deal at HU. Might have made sense ($8mm in the balance).

    Anyone have any idea?

    I wouldn't be surpised if Trickett actually pocketed more than Esfandiari aftee the backers are paid. Trickett had some sick scores in 2011. I think he could have put up a lot more of himself than Antonio did. But no1 knows for sure because Antonio and Trickett haven't said anything. Anything any1 tells you is purely a guess.

    Antonio probably has his own action the guy is a magician. He could have made the money himself via magic. He has probably turned the money into 18b by now.

    Antonio had 10% according to his brother. According to Tommy felice. Fwiw.

    Trickett had 50% of himself, James Bord with the other 50% of him.

    Laak & Tilly had 10% of Antonio.

    From what I've read online anyway.

    Confirmed that Antonio had 10%...people really seem to care...I heard from his brother....

    So Antonio did have 10% of himself. I would have thought more because in an interview he said he was "taking a big risk". Obv 100k is a lot, but I would have thought a big risk meant more than 10% of himself. After it's all done, looks like Trickett and Bord came away the biggest winners of this event.

    Kind of sucks to ship 18mill and only walk away with 1.8mill, and even less after taxes.

    Bord has 50%??? I heard them say that Sam's sponsor Matchbook put him in and the details were undisclosed. Maybe he had %50 of himself and sold half of that to Bord.

    Kind of sucks to bust $1 Million buy-in and have to eat that whole thing yourself rather than only 100K. People are so stupid with these posts sometimes.

    thought the way backing works is that the player gets a portion for winning (30-50%) and the backers split the other portion according to their investment. why would a player who's 100% backed play if he doesn't keep a chunk?
