Perkins vs. Tice: results of 8 sessions
Landon Tice's attempts to close a gap of $720 000 in the high-stakes heads-up battle against Bill Perkins have not been as successful as hoped. The young poker player managed to win back only $90 000.
Tice gave Perkins a 9bb/100 handicap in their $200/$400 two-table battle over 20 000 hands on ACR. In fact, $720 000 is a great handicap for the amateur poker player Bill Perkins.

From the outset, the poker players exchanged leading position in turns, although Tice's little success last week helped him get back on track to achieve the challenging goal.
Perkins, however, is far from being a weak poker player. It is also worth considering that $100 000 is a trifle for a person whose fortune is estimated at millions of dollars. Thanks to this, Bill is not afraid to lose large sums of money.
