Re: Nosebleed Cash Games in Macau thread
This should be a lot of fun and lead to some pretty sick cash games. First place is going to be interesting. Minimum prize pool will be around US$15.3m (60 entrants at HK$2m / US$256k) to I guess max around 100 buy ins (entrants plus rebuys) - US$25m. first place 30% - US$7.6m. No having to play for 7/8 days, win the WSOP main event in 12 hours!!!

"local charity" sounds fishy.

So there's a tournament most of 2+2 can't afford to play...happening in a place most of them can't get to (especially on a week's notice)...and won't be available on tv or as a stream.
Sick 1st post brag I guess...

I dont know what you're implying. Juanda got his by being a sick mofo. Ivey is pretty sick as well. Seidel? well, Seidel is the BOSS!
