These high roller events are attracting more and more entries all the time and i think that these tournaments are the real main event. There was a time when only a handful of players would play but that has certainly changed

High Roller Event in poker is the best because they are the best players undoubtedly being the highest buy in what can only pay those who are in the elite of world poker and the level of play is second to none

The high rollers do tend to be more popular than they used to be but the $25k buy in is not as big as a lot of the high rollers.I prefer watching these types of games,maybe you won't see as much "reckless" play as in other tournaments but the top players will still be prepared to bluff and play good poker.
Triple-crown is such a funny name it totally sounds like a dentist's term for something like you have in your mouth. BTW High Roller events are funny too, because that title still does sound like they are holding a convention for marihuana users and distributors. So since nothing is not funny about this event I would say I am rooting for a totally new and unimportant recreational player to put this one in his or her bag. Whoever will achieve this on these terms will have my respect for sure...
