Andy Beal Loses Millions More, Quits Poker For Good
|
Andy Beal, the self-made Texan billionaire who is infamous in the poker world for challenging the world's best players to heads up play and losing a small fortune in the process, has apparently given up the game for good. This follows another thrashing at the hands of The Corporation in 2006, which finished just moments before the Super Bowl started.
Books have been written about Beal's quest to become a top-class poker player. He challenged poker pros to play him heads up at incredible stakes ($50,000 - $100,000 blinds!) The game was limit hold'em and this year, as in previous years, the result was in the balance until the very end.
The Corporation is a team of the best poker players in the world - players like Howard Lederer, Ted Forrest, and Jennifer Harman, who pooled their own cash to challenge Beal. This year saw the poker players ante up $10 million and Beal put down $20 million of his own cash. Heading into the final match Beal was up a reported $2 million, but Ted Forrest took him to school. The final result: Beal lost $3 million, and has supposedly quit the game for good.
Last time out Beal was on the brink of bankrupting the Corporation before Todd Brunson, of all people, somehow managed to beat him.
