Guys like durrr are really used to play such amounts, but the others... i don't know if they did the best option playing high stake with those guys. Ok Doyle is big pro star and knows what he does at a poker table, but high stakes is a different poker level. Its like knowing to play limit and start playing no limit: diferent things!

 aspas226/07/2009 12:40:10 GMT
yeh who won?
 GeneYuss27/07/2009 09:02:31 GMT
That would be cool if they filmed it..Are they going to have these big games often?
 Calmplay27/07/2009 09:09:55 GMT
I've never saw that huge amount of money in only 1 pot before, yes I would also like to see the video of that hand if they filmed it... I think that should be the record of the biggest pot ever in only 1 hand.
 GeneYuss28/07/2009 10:45:06 GMT
Calmplay, ya, that's a lot of $$. I don't think it's the record because there was this billionaire who would play with the pros 100k/200k blinds and pots easily reached millions.
