Gossip: New High Limit Poker Room @ Aria to be named "Ivey's Room"

Just went to the mailbox to get today's mail and saw a nice package from Aria. In it was an invitation to a poker tournament featuring big name pros including Phil Ivey. It will take place in their new high limit room, The Ivey Room.

I don't follow B&M much so I don't know if this is common knowledge but do see threads about "i heard the big game was moving to aria" popping up all of the time, so this may lend some credibility. See pictures below.

Why should people go to aria to play ivey? they should lock him there and continue playing at bellagio so some of them have a decent shot to beat the game

lol quite the top heavy promo. 1st is a bit less than 375k, depending on the heads up versus Ivey structure and 2nd is 70k? Ouch.

all of these promos are. there is about 1 a month. but in the next four weeks there are about four, so it's kind of hectic. All of them are top heavy. For instance, last September the blackjack was a 750k winner take all. It got chopped 50k 8 ways, then they left 350 for first, and 1st and 2nd chopped again.

Lots of times there will be deals. Because even though the people playing are suppose to have theoreticals of 250k +/- a trip, there is a huge difference between 400 and 200 between 1st and 2nd so lots of chops.

there is a million bellagio blackjack next month and then another poker/golf with nfl pros again i think soon.

It means you can't cash them out. You can only gambool with them until you lose them or win more.
