Nosebleed Cash Games in Macau thread
Despite the light turnout at the Asian Poker Tour Macau the cash games are some of the biggest in history as Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey, Chau Giang, and John Juanda are playing HK$5,000-10,000 with some Chinese businessmen. The game plays much bigger and there was about 40 million on the table last night when I saw the game.
Tom Dwan made it through day one in the 5K main event but only came downstairs to play one hand 10-4 off suit in an attempt to bust and get back to the cash game but instead he doubled up and asked me to call him as soon as he was under 20 BB's. We are down to 35 players and paying 18.
Juanda is the biggest winner in the game so far. Durrrr, Ivey, and Chau are stuck a combined few million HK$. When I asked Dwan when he was moving here he said "very soon".

Blinds are $641/1282 and now $1282/2564 . Is it just mixed games?

I read that limit games are still illegal in Macau due to some technicality in the "Poker in Macau" thread, so I imagine it's only NLHE and PLO.

Limit is cruel and unusual punishment.

I assume this means they're playing at the Wynn? Or is it at Grand Lisboa?
