Prior to the start of the 2014 World Series of Poker, two of the best known players in the game decided on a bet regarding victories at the WSOP that will result in gold bracelets. Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu decided to team up for a bracelet bet: If either of them wins a bracelet at the Series, the bettor loses. If neither wins, the bettor wins even money.

The minimum bet was $5,000 and the maximum bet was $1 million.
Quite a few players placed some bets, though details were not revealed.
Marvin Rettenmaier also proposed a bracelet bet just this week. The PartyPoker Pro and Event 2 second place finisher Jason Mo agreed to a $100,000 bet if one player wins a bracelet and the other doesn’t.
