and Bartholdi entered into a 10K prop bet which centered on who would win the most WSOP bracelets within the following 10 years. Boyd won three bracelets while Bartholdi won none. Between 2016 (when the prop bet was over and the 10K came due) and 2021, Bartholdi had slowly paid Boyd $1,500 of the $10,000. In an effort to both accelerate and force payment, Boyd took Bartholdi to court but lost the civil lawsuit because, according to Hearing Master Amy L. Ferreira's judgement, “The agreement was made verbally and no written document was created at the time of said agreement. Therefore, according to NRS [Nevada Revised Statutes] 111.220, the agreement is void. As a result, Boyd [was] awarded nothing against the defendant [Bartholdi]." After the judgment was rendered, Bartholdi said “I am paying what I owe to Dutch — but I guess it wasn't fast enough and he sued me. I am still paying what I owe.” Boyd responded by with: “This whole experience has turned me off of ever making a prop bet with a friend again. I wish we never made the bet.” On 26 May 2022 Bartholdi finished in first place in the $1,700 No Limit Hold 'em Deepest Stack event in the Seminole Hard Rock Deep Stack Series, in Hollywood, FL. The prize of $125,025 is his largest tournament winnings since his 2006 WPT championship event win of 3.7 million dollars which he split with Joe Cassidy as they had 50% of one another.
