$10k Poker Challenge: Boku87
The $10,000 Challenge was a Prop Bet set up by Boku87, who took $30,000 in bets, saying he could turn $100 into $10,000 in 15 days playing only Sit and Goes on PokerStars.com. This event sparked massive threads through forums such as TwoPlusTwo and PocketFives. I remember everybody claiming it was either a scam, or that Boku87 was an “idiot” if he actually thought he could accomplish this. Insults were flying every which way throughout the poker communities, and on March 3rd, 2009, the challenge was on and the rules were set.
Rules for 100$ into 10000$ in 15 days
1. I have 15 days from starting point meaning 360 hour. Starting point will be 3rd March 1:00 p.m. Central european time. So it will end 18th March 12:59 p.m.
2. I can only play Sngs with a maximum buy in of 16$
3. 180man or 90man do not count
4. If I go broke at any point I lost the bet
5. Profit only, Rakeback and Bonus, player transfers or BoP cashes do not count
6. I will have to run a webcam when I play. You can see it at www.justin.tv/Boku87
7. I won the bet as soon as I reached a 10000$ bankroll meaning I made 9900$ in Profit. Progress can be tracked with sharkscope
8. Money must be sent before the bet starts to the Pokerstars escrow account P5contest (Isle of men)
9. I get 3-1 odds so for every 100$ from me I will get 300$ from you.
10. I will bet up to 30K to your 90K
11. People who bet against me are not allowed to play at my tables unless it is their regular limits to create a realistic atmosphere for micro stakes playing.(12) There is one thing left . Though it did not happen i
n 15 month I once disconnected completly for an hour or so and blinded of at every single Sng I played which cost me about 2200$. So I want an extra rule for this bet ONLY for the first 2 days that if I disconnect for longer than 20 minutes for reasons that are not my fault I will get a refund of all tournaments that I blinded off where I had > 1200 chips . I won’t make any profit of this, its just to make sure that I don’t start my first session and disconnect and lose 70% of my roll the first day.
13. If I do not get enough action on this ( minimum 30K$) I will postpone the start till I have enough action.
I will post daily updates in this blog
On the first day alone, Boku had played over 500 sng’s and had made over $300 in profit. Boku eventually went on to accomplish this amazing feat, in just 14 days.
