The Asian Poker Tour (APT) and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) are run by different organisations...

So enough racism cries, and back on topic.

I imagined the room this was taking place in would be less tacky east vegas looking and more mansion in a james bond movie esque.

They do not like nitty pros and have been known to change a game from a 10k / 20k (HKD) game to a 10/20k with 20k ante to force the pros to play. With some of the guys from a sportsbetting background, private insurance side bets are a source of great amusement (and relief to some of the smaller players when involved in a big pot). They also prefer to play against people bringing their own money rather than a pro who has been staked by 15 different people.

I think the biggest pot this week was actually 16m not 20m as stated though they have been far larger in the past. Many "businessmen" in Asia like to come and play in the "Big Game" as it is known to mix and mingle with the regular players there (not the Western Pros).

Zero chance of this ever being televised and cameras in casino gaming areas are banned in Macau so pics can only be taken undercover. However, I do think one day relatively soon you may see the game find its way onto the internet every now and then.

Biggest hand I ever saw and arguably the craziest was a guy betting HK$28m on the river into a HK$51m pot with a gutshot straight draw against what turned out to be top set. He was down over HK$100m at the time and hit it.

Thanks Matt for hosting another well run tournament

Tom
Jeez how much money do they have? It just seems crazy to be down 13mil in a single session; most of the ppl who play 500/1k online don't have half that. And a $13 mil pot, that surely has to be biggest of all time (unless those ruskie mefia games with Tony G had bigger?) Regarding the pot he bet $28 hk m and was called on the river right (gut shot turned str, so it wasn't a draw anymore no?)

Also you said cash only, when those guys were $50 hk m+ deep did they buyin with cash (or wire/cheque w.e) or was it credit? Seems insane for people to have that much liquid around...

It's just a laptop sitting on a side table so that PI & TD can quickly post their trouble hands obv.

OWLS - Just to confirm numbers are all HK$ not US$ reported. All cash chips on the table no credit allowed in the casino for this sort of game. Agregus - read earlier posts from Page 19, game is in Macau not HK.

The "Poker King" Poker room Chip Update as provided by Winfred 5 min ago for today's session is Phil up HK$15m, Tom up HK$4m, Table regulars up HK$2m, Chau up HK$300k, Johnny Chan down HK$800k, John Juanda down HK$1.5m (but up big for the week overall and has left town for a trip), 2 Beijing visitors down HK$10m each. Currently main game is 4 handed with Phil, Tom and 2 regulars playing HK$10/20k. Second game features Jeff Lisandro, Ted Forrest and others playing either 2k/4k or 5k/10k

AFAIK that's one of the courtesy laptops that the room has. They have a spot that has wireless, one or two laptops, and couches that players can use. It's a pretty cool room overall.

Most people (including me) used it to double check / book flights, so I assume one of the players was doing that.
