that was purely limit holdem, although they were playing 50k/100k, not sure the biggest pot, but know ivey said on one hand he put in 4 bets on the river which is 800k in itself.
last year @ bobby's antonius won a 2.4 million pot, and i heard that there was a crazy HU game between GUY and ivey or durrr at RIO suite, where bigger pots were played.
guys like lisandro and Tony G seem to find the HUGE games, but they keep them very downlow, who wants to share fish?
this is for sure the biggest NLHE games that have been somewhat reported on.

Whatever feelings of worry I got from your attack on my intelligence were quickly dispelled when I read your subsequent reasoning.

haha thats a bit overoptimistic, but the chinese winning a good chunk of money from dwan is clearly a better scenario than the other way around.

Life plan has changed...moving to Macau...weekends with Pooter ftw

i choinned two

Another reason taxes suck ass. Keeps all the big action games behind closed doors [for the most part].

Who thinks Ivey, Forrest, Chau Giang etc are moving to Macau? There's just too much money to be made.

China is the next great capitalist democracy...

this is crazy, wonder why Gus & ANtonius didnt make it

i would take durrr and ev+ over someone being fearless any day....also im sure you've noticed that durrr is quite fearless himself and disregards money in the same way that these businessmen or whoever they are do.

right on, dude!

now go make a separate thread!

obv because chinese people are born sharks...

Hi All,

Would just like to say on behalf of Poker King Club thank you to everyone for their interest in our High Stakes Macau game. As i've read some of the previous threads, our friends Tom & Matt have done an excellent job giving updates, as well as bringing Phil and Durr over to Starworld to play this action packed game. As of right now...Durr & Phil are taking a break, catching up on some sleep....and there are two local guys sitting right in front of me playing $50k-$100k HKD heads up. They've been playing since 9am....it's about 4pm now....and they're still going strong. One guy has a massive chip lead on the other ....but the other guy's determined to continue playing it seems. As the days go by, this game is getting stronger and bigger than ever. With ante's and props....who knows what the future will hold when it comes to limits.

This game has been going on in Macau at Level 3 Starworld...Poker King Club for over a year already. And consists of mostly Macau/China businessmen who have converted their passion from Baccarrat to Poker. It's definetly an entertaining game to watch, i've seen some players improve over the years and come out consistent winners each session. Yet i've seen others continue to try and chase very expensive gut shots or flush draws just because "they could feel it"...lolz. With the addition of Durr, Phil, and other world champions, the game's atmosphere has really gotten even more exciting. Everyday new challenges come out, and as Tom Hall said earlier, some guy from Beijing has challenged to play Durr heads up, if he flies in tonight, i'll keep everyone posted on what happens. Thanks! =)

Hand of the Day:

Last night all the regular high roller Chinese guys were playing..along with World Champion Chau Giang. (Durr and Phil were taking a nap and getting some rest)

How it went down:
Blinds: $10,000, $20,000HKD blinds, $10,000 Ante/person
There was a straddle of $40,000 HKD.
Chinese guy: bumps it up to $100,000HKD (with Ace, Jack)
Chau Giang: raises to $500,000HKD (with Ace, Ace)
Chinese guy: calls ....(everyone else folds) it's now heads up

Flop comes out: J, J, 10

Chau Giang: Checks (two pair, aces and jacks)
Chinese guy: bets $1.2 million (with trip Jack's, ace kicker)
Chau Giang: Calls

Turn: Ace ( WOW, Chau Giang has now made a Full house Aces over Jacks....While Chinese Guy has Full house Jacks over Aces)

Chau Giang: first to act ....Checks!
Chinese guy: pushes All IN ...around $9 Million HKD
Chau Giang: Calls

River comes a 3: Chau Giang takes down the over $20 Million HKD POT!!!!!!!

Thanks Stella, was nice to meet you in Macau and keep the updates coming

seriously?

nice pot Uncle CHau!

Hi guys, I was wondering why there are no haters for Chau Giang and John Juanda in this thread. I don't know Chau, but John seems to be a nice guy in TV. Normally there should be like hundreds of people here hating him...

both are well respected and especially after being part of this sick action it's not surprising there arent many haters.

cant hate against chau...

So why are there haters for Dwan or Galfond?

tell me it's not blinds

why would anyone hate chau "pokah is nice... i love pokah"

10k ante seems very expensive compared to the blinds-isn't it?
