He is considered a recreational player who usually takes part in high-stakes games. He is also well-known for participating in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/blog\/the-six-craziest-prop-bets-involving-poker-players\">some of the craziest poker prop bets<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Tice meanwhile is a rising star \u2013 he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/poker\/comments\/jv7764\/landon_tice_wins_first_place_for_200k_in_mspt\/\">won the <em>2020 Mid-States Poker Tour (MSPT) Venetian $1,100 Main Event<\/em><\/a> for over $200,000. It was the first recorded live tournament score of his career. <\/p>\n<p>While Polk was preparing for his grudge match against Negreanu last year, he played against other players in low-stakes games at the virtual felts. Interestingly, one of those players was Tice. After almost three hours of playing <em>$2\/$4 heads-up NLHE cash games<\/em>, Tice impressively won against Polk.<\/p>\n<p>Perkins is generally a casual player while Tice is a pro, giving the latter a significant edge in the match. To make the battle a bit fairer for Perkins, Tice agreed to pay his potential opponent nine big blinds per 100 hands. That equates to $720,000, if both players go on and complete the full 20,000 hands. <\/p>\n<p>So for example, if Tice ends up winning $850,000 at the end of the match, he will only be able to take home $130,000 in actual profit as he will need to pay Perkins the agreed $720,000. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"will-it-happen\">Will It Happen?<\/h2>\n<p>The question will the match really happen? Well, some are betting Perkins would eventually forget about the agreement. <\/p>\n<p>Online legend <strong>Haralabos Voulgaris<\/strong> thinks the match would just become another one of those that Perkins initially agreed to do but ended up not completing because the hedge fund manager \u201c<em>got bored<\/em>\u201d or distracted along the way. <\/p>\n<p>The same thing happened with his participation in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/news\/two-new-poker-players-accept-phil-galfonds-heads-up-challenge\">Galfond Challenge<\/a> where he only played two sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly a week after Doug Polk dominated the biggest heads-up poker match in recent history taking $1.2 million from long-time rival Daniel Negreanu, the poker world could be in for another huge match, this time involving hedge fund manager Bill Perkins and up-and-coming young poker player Landon Tice.
