$300K Propbet: Highstakes Player YaAaRnY to Make 100 Buyins at PLO Tables

It took a while before all the details were finalized, but two days ago highstakes online player YaAaRnY started his $300,000 propbet to make 100 buyins at $5/$10+ PLO tables in 31 days. When all the conditions were set up and defined, YaAaRny was given 2:1 odds against and bet his $100K to win $200K from the bettors.

Minimum number of hands to be played in this period is 70,000 and this is a part of PropBet that YaAaRny feels will be the easiest to accomplish, especially considering the fact he is allowed to play at Zoom tables. However, he is not allowed to play heads-up and must win 10,000bb before the rakeback to win this bet.

Although this bet is anything but easy considering the quality of play at the stakes he will be playing, he feels that this will add another dimension to the everyday grind and help with the motivation to play. Amongst those who decided to bet, it was Ike Haxton who took the biggest amount of $84,500 of total $200K. Other big bettors are ‘Sira Al Aziz’ with $30,000, ‘snack_check’ and ‘volanth’ who put $20K on the line, ‘Matt111’ with $10,000 and many others who invested between $2K-$5K. Ike is also acting as an escrow and he is keeping the money of all the bettors as well as YaAarny’s $100K.

YaAarny, who is 24 years old, has been playing high stakes for a while and already has plans for celebration after he wins – in his own words ‘beer and whatever else that may not be legal’. And if he manages to pull it off, he will certainly have a lot to celebrate. He talked to joeIngram1 briefly about his plans and strategy going in, and you can listen to the entire conversation in this video.

So the bet started on August 23rd and everybody who’s put their money against is already in for a sweat, as YaAarny is off to a very good start.

Joeingram1 (ChicagoJoey on 2+2), who is also one of the judges for this challenge keeps a close eye on everything that is going on and intends on doing regular live streams for the entire time. Below is the one from the last night.

This one is definitely going to be worth keeping an eye on, as we expect a lot of swings and emotions as the things move along. Although YaAaRny is an experienced grinder, tough runs at the tables can get to even the best in the game – and there is a lot of added pressure as well.

We will keep track of the things here on PokerTube, and you can also follow Joeingram1’s streams on Youtube to stay informed of the most recent developments. If he can pull it off, YaAarny will join the legends of online poker who pulled off similar sick propbets in the past – and will provide all of us with a lot of great entertainment in the process!
