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.

Hey look. Juanda, Ivey and Seidel are all playing. Wonder where their buy ins came from?

Sorry! Couldn't help myself.

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!
