Bilzerian Claims Gores Didn’t Wire the Money
In a recent interview with PokerNews, Bilzerian revealed that he tried to set up the massive heads-up poker battle twice, but Gores didn’t wire the money. Additionally, the poker pro outlined that he has accepted the challenge twice and he is still waiting for Gores to “pony up.”
Last month, Bilzerian said that the game may take place at Aria in Las Vegas. During his recent interview, he said that the game may be played at Aria or on PokerGO. He did acknowledge that he plans to televise the heads-up poker game. Bilzerian revealed that the poker battle may be $50 million for each player but if Gores insists, he can also chip in with $100 million but would need “to sell a little bit.” According to the media outlet, the poker pro already has the funds necessary for the poker game.
