... a $1 at the end, they get Dwan's stake.Damn, where did we put that extra $500,000?Doesn't matter. PhilIvey announced today that he's stepping up to the plate (we had a feeling he'd be interested). Frankly, we're a little surprised that Tom threw the gauntlet down to Phil. Phil's damn good. We're talking "top of his game" good.Publicly, Phil says that Tom's got...
