I don't think Phil and Tom are ever going back to US.

This was at Hard Rock Casino during the APT event

The round chips at the bottom are 1million, the "biscuits" are 100K each.

Man that would be great if the shaved guy is Laliberté.

whats the poker etiquette on talking about wins & losses of other players in ring games? I know that some of the folks "reporting" this info don't know the players personally, but it's obvious that some do.

i do have a couple of photos taken incognito, they're uploaded on my fb, nothin interesting really(no photoshop potential). this site has some shots of the players here in macau. http://www.theasianpokertour.com/

my friend ivan commented about one of the hands played,

Just witnessed a huge pot between Phil Ivey and Tom Dwan in a high stakes cash game here at the APT macau. Here are the details.

These were the few know players that were players, the rest i have never seen before.

Dwan, Ivey, Chau Giang, Jon Juanda.

Blinds were 5k/10k HKD

Anyways here was the hand.

Ivey straddles to 20k
Dwan double straddles to 40k.
MP calls 40k
Ivey completes the 40k
Dwan maskes a raise to 180k total
MP folds
Ivey re-raises to 1million alomost all-in
Dwan instant gos all-in
Ivey snap calls
Pot is approx 3M HKD
Hands Ivey ATos, Dwan 77
Board runs out, no Ace no Ten. Dwan ships the 3Million Pot.
When i left he was up about 3.5M HKD
And to mention he was happily drinking beer.

If this hand really happened, this looks a lot like Dwan and Ivey have LARGE pieces of each other (perhaps playing off the same stake for this series of cash games).

Imagine the table image ramifications of both Ivey's overbet shove and Dwan's call!!!

+they seem to enjoy sparring and have a long history of playing massive pots against each other, online and offline. Just off the top of my head - Ivey almost correctly called a 3rd barrel w/ A6 on 6xxxx all overcard board against him on HSP.
