Nosebleed Cash Games in Macau thread - Page 6 - Poker News

the chinese businessmen will let the pros play from time to time. however they limit the number of pros allowed on the tables. these guys are so freakin rich even tom commented that his bluffs dont really work because these guys have balls and more importantly have cash. after losing around 4 mill, tom then bought in for 10 mill.

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.

i have my doubts this actually happened

So sick Ivey snap calls good with the A 10. (Behind but still live)

Any more updates would be great

He already had about two thirds of his stack in the middle (which does sound somewhat suspicious, like the poster above said. Weird raise sizing by Ivey.).

(Edit: What's the use of 'quickly reply to this message' button if it doesn't quote the message that you want to reply to?)

Since when is Ivey and Dwan so best friends they would swap 50% and do all sorts of crazy stuff just because they're playing in a big game with other professional poker players and some business men. This is big for us but probably not as big for them, especially Ivey.

More likely a metapost/forum image play by a poster who wants some fame and makes up some stuff

I just talked to an Asian poker pro I know who translated a blog from one of the business men's associates who was watching the game and has financial interest in his businesses as well as being a poker enthusiast. He talked about two hands last night where Ivey 4bet bluffed about 1.8M$HKD with K high on the river and got called and another where Juanda rivered a backdoor nut flush against one of the businessmen for 10M$HKD. I wish there were pics...

Im sure durrr and ivey want to party with a bunch of random poker players they've never met in their life. I would love to hear a conversation between PA and a drunken Asian clubber, lol.
