Worlds biggest ever buyin tournament being played in Macau - Poker News

Fedor just tweeted about a $12m HKD or $1.5m tournament being played at the moment. Sound like it was started spontaneously because there is no other info I can find about it.

Does this mean he bought in for a total of 6 times?

FT Seat Draw / Payouts available as a shared Google Doc. (I'm stupid and don't know how to post the link properly here)

Multiple players fired more than one bullet. I'm sure you guys can do some simple division to find out how many bullets were fired based on what players reflected they put in.

This is the inaugural Super High Roller Bowl - China edition put on by PokerCentral / Macau Billionaire Poker.

Hey man. $1.5MM divided by $300k is actually five, not six. Glad I could help

Probably a mix up with currency conversions.

It's $2m HK buy in and he's in for $12m HK which is about $250k/$1.5m US

Biggest buyin tournament ever

No media coverage

Was this intentional or just a huge fail?

Surely lots of hype and excitement from poker fans if it was properly marketed.

Despite this being in China, seems like the same typical crew that goes to all of these made the FT. Or maybe it isn’t the ft....

Not a single non-western non-pro name on that list lol. Are literally all the ****ing pros in Macau AND also absolutely no "businessman" that the games run around cash? Sick
