Elite 48 will be a great show, just a shame they wont show it here untill 2278 at 3.30AM on a tuesday. But with a bit of luck a well known site migh show the action...OR bankrollmob might want to pay for my entry!...around 250k members here if we all chip in $1.....

Awesome!!! Imo there must be more tourneys with buyin $100K+ , why wud Iveys, Dwans, Ziggy's go play a tourney for 3 days (traveling, expenses, ect) for just a $10K buyin nowadays? There are so many Iveys nowadays who can pay these high buyinns easily. So i expect many more $50K+ buyinns events in the near future.

250k wow, this is surely gonna be interesting game to look forward to. would be great if they can manage to fill all 48 seats, im sure lots of players now can afford that.
