Default Gigabet vs Negreanu?

I think Gigabet should take on Daniel Negreanu's open challenge:

Negreanu's Open Challenge

Surely he has the bankroll, and if not, I'd wager a number of 2+2ers would be willing to stake him... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't see why anyone would take it.

It involves being in the same room as Negreanu for more than five minutes.

I doubt Gigabet is worth several million.

Why would you htink he didn't?

Let's say Gigabet has $Million BR now. Do you think it would be a good idea to risk 10% of that on what is probably a coinflip at best?

Yes, what's your point?

Given that Gigabet recently posted a 100K win hand history from a Party Step Higher tourney, it seems feasible he could afford to take on Negreanu for that amount.

This is not going to happen for so many reasons.

Having 100K =/= being bankrolled for this.

I actually think there is a lot of upside to playing Negrean for 100k. The publicty you would get for being an unknown, challenging him and beating him would likely be worth something.
