Becker Beats Tice in Summer Crossbook Despite Losses on Both Sides

With the summer poker season wrapped up in Las Vegas, the results are in for the crossbook between Landon Tice and Jeremy Becker.

The bet began on May 28 and lasted nearly two months, ending on July 18. As reported by Poker.Org, Becker was the victor by a margin of $71,742 despite both players ending in the red for five-figure sums.

What is a Crossbook?

The bet was a 100% crossbook across a minimum of 25 events this summer, both at the World Series of Poker and other festivals, with buy-ins of $10,000 or under. Online events were excluded.

A crossbook is a bet between players in the same tournament or cash game where “the player who loses owes the winner a percentage of that player’s net winnings (vs. the losing player’s net winnings) in the event,” according to Upswing Poker.

For example, if Becker and Tice both played an event and one cashed for $0 and the other cashed for $100,000, the winning side would be owed $100,000 (plus a buy-in). If the loser cashed for $25,000, they would owe $75,000, and so on.

Both Players End Up Down in Crossbook

The duo put in a grind in the scorching heat of Sin City, with 176 bullets fired between them. Becker, who was supported by Daniel Negreanu, recorded the most entries with 90, four more than his opponent.

Becker’s total buy-ins came to $165,764, and he cashed for $148,627, making for a $17,137 deficit. Tice, who had Matt Berkey in his corner, wound up with a loss of $88,879 after his $185,710 in buy-ins paid him back $96,831. With that, Tice had to pay Becker the difference, which came to $71,742.

Becker’s biggest cash of the summer came on the last day of the crossbook, where he placed eighth in the Venetian $1,600 Mystery Bounty for $23,395. Tice’s best payout was for slightly more, receiving $29,353 after bowing out in 88th in the $10,400 Wynn Summer Championship. Becker made the money in 19 of the 62 unique events that he played, while Tice’s nine results came from 54 tournaments.

Not All Doom and Gloom for Tice

Within the scope of the crossbook, it paints Tice’s summer as a losing one, but that wasn’t quite the case for the ‘Child of the Sim.’

On May 30, Tice banked a career-best score of $550,000 after ending as the runner-up in the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown.

Why didn’t that count towards the crossbook, I hear you ask? Well, that’s because the tournament began at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida in April. Action paused for over a month once the final table had been reached, and the remaining six players took a break before traveling to Las Vegas — more specifically, the HyperX Arena at Luxor — to play it down to a winner.

Josh Reichard, a 15-time World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring winner, walked away as the champion in that event and banked the $839,300 up top after despatching Tice in heads-up play.

The Tamayo Rule Main Event Champ Hints at New Rule After Solver Allegations

He’s the $10 million dollar man. Instead of a week of celebrating, relaxing and settling into life as poker’s newest world champion, Jonathan Tamayo has had to deal with cheating allegations and accusations of using solvers in the middle of the Main Event final table. Now, Tamayo has spoken out. In an interview with award-winning podcast The Chip Race, he addressed the concerns of the poker public and said that he would go along with any change in rules to prevent players in the future using solvers on the rail. Preparing for the Final Table The trio spoke at length about Tamayo’s career as a cash game grinder, his deep run in the 2009 WSOP Main Event and the role he played in supporting his close friend Joe McKeehen at the 2015 WSOP Main Event final table that McKeehen went on to win. However, the majority of the discussion naturally was centered on Tamayo’s $10,000,000 victory, and the preparations that went in to his run to the biggest title in poker. Preparations, Tamayo said, were key on the day before the Main Event final table. “You have to make a strategy executable,” Tamayo told podcast hosts Dara O’Kearney and David Lappin. “If the strategy is too complex, then you can’t execute it well. “A strategy that is not as good but straight forward is a lot better than something that’s complex and I’m not going to remember.” Tamayo was joined by McKeehen and coach Dominik Nitsche to work on effective strategies that Tamayo could implement the following day. Ironically, he said, the most-studied spot was for a big blind versus button confrontation with Joe Serock, spending 3-4 hours on a spot that Tamayo says never eventually happened. Nevertheless, the group was keen to ensure that any work they put in would be able to be used the following day. Taking it All In Tamayo also said there had been ample discussion on mindset strategy and ensuring that Tamayo was in the right zone. “It was fun, but it was super stressful fun” “You’re just making decisions and doing your job. Whatever happens happens. You just have to give yourself the best shot possible and just be prepared.” Lappin asked Tamayo whether or not he was able to enjoy himself, have fun and take in the surroundings during the biggest final table of his career. “I took it in a little bit right before the final table started and on the breaks. It was fun, but it was super stressful fun. If you take it in too much you kind of lose your focus so you have to be a little bit careful there. So most of the time it was head down — what am I doing? How am I gonna proceed? Just strategy reminders for myself.” “In-Game Adjustments” with Dominik Nitsche During the breaks, Tamayo said he spent time with Nitsche, who discussed a couple of adjustments for his play, which continued while playing at the final table. Photos of the laptop on the rail, with Nitsche and McKeehen hunched over it were all over social media in the wake of his Main Event victory, but Tamayo told the podcast there were no sims on the laptop, and that he personally wasn’t concerned with what was going on. Instead, he said that any “in-game adjustments” were looked at by Nitsche and McKeehen and communicated to him if necessary. “If there’s something we need to talk to you about, we’ll talk to you about it” “They basically told me ‘we’ll handle it, just play. If there’s something we need to talk to you about, we’ll talk to you about it.’ So I was just compartmentalizing what I was going to do. “Nitsche said ‘feel free to make any in-game adjustments on the fly, and if we think they’re incorrect or we see something, we’ll let you know.’ And that’s basically how it was.” Poker Community Reaction Before Tamayo broke his silence, the poker world had been in a frenzy. Alan Keating was quick to tweet, saying that what happened wasn’t in the “spirit of the game.” Keating then joined former WSOP Player of the Year Daniel Negreanu and Doug Polk on a podcast where Negreanu called for rule clarity and criticizing Tamayo’s railmate Dominik Nitsche for “doubling down” on social media afterwards. Main Event runner-up Jordan Griff even chimed in, also appearing with Doug Polk to discuss Tamayo’s use of real-time assistance. “I mean, I think using RTA is going to give an advantage,” Griff said. “Everyone can debate how large that is, and how much it will really help a person. I think it’s hard to quantify that.” “I talked about the reaction with a couple of people,” Tamayo said. “I’m not going to be able to change 90-95% of people’s opinions. A lot of people are saying stuff on the internet, opinions are made. Tamayo says he himself doesn’t even understand how a lot of the technology works, and it hasn’t been something he’s devoted a lot of time to over the course of his career. “I haven’t studied solvers, I don’t know how they work. I’ve had a coach on the cash side of poker on spots. But I don’t know how to process it. Most of my time and most my hours is spent playing. It’s a delicate balance. Studying makes your play better, but playing is what makes you your money. So where do you stop studying and start playing? “To me, studying 40 hours and playing 20 hours is not a good use of the time. But studying 2 hours and playing 60 is probably not it either. It’s something I’ve wrestled with for years, so the answer is somewhere in between.” Will the WSOP Change its Rules? Back in 2023, the WSOP addressed solver concerns and issued a statement in which they said that any player using real time assistance (RTA) during a hand would be subject to penalty. Additionally, they reserved the right to further penalize a player for using RTA “in any other situation in our sole and absolute discretion.” It remains to be seen as to whether the WSOP will now more stringently enforce its policy on RTA, and Tamayo says it’s not up to him. “Fortunately it’s a question I don’t have to answer because I’m not an operator. There’s some debate how we go about coaching now? I don’t know the answer to that. “They’ll think of something. I joked with one of my friends that I might have a rule named after me now!” Based in the United Kingdom, Will started working for PokerNews as a freelance live reporter in 2015 and joined the full-time staff in 2019.
