Scott Seiver is getting good, i am hearing his name more and more. Haha yeah the businessman situation kind of funny if you look at it. But you know he is rich he can afford those luxury and I think he will just think of that trip as a fun one.

phillipp gruissem always seems to run deep into these high roller tourneys. seen him on tv quite a few times getting into the money in these events. scott seiver is another player who is at the top of his game right now and if he keeps improving like he is it will be 'watch out' phil ivey! insane money being gambled though must have some rich backers, cant see them paying the whole buy in by themself
