Big game and great prizes for these 10 players from the final table. I'm sure these games are very heavy and fatigue is a lot, but you have nothing to do, when the buy-in is big. Then you also have powerful opponents and many hours are playing. Concentration requires time.
Of course, the entry fee of 50,000 dollars is a very large amount for so many people .... so the players were quite small .... And those people who could afford to lose 50,000 dollars played there .... and the first prize is of course a very steep one and a half million dollars .... Yes, very cool .... and of course the first bracelet .... great

Not all games are made for regular people is true but strong gaming is also needed for this industry. 50,000 dollars... there is a lot of money and only the rich persons can afford to play here, or through satellite. With these money you can do many more other people are playing with them.

of course I understand that if a person has a large enough state, he is not interested in playing with small entrance fees .... he is interested in playing when you make big bets and you can win a really significant prize .... so I certainly have nothing against such tournaments .. ... just shared my opinion that this is something transcendental to me
Congratulation to you Ben, I love those huge buy ins events as we get only mouthwatering players into. I'm a bit sad that there is not 1million buy in event this year but I can't wait for the 100k one

A high roller indeed. While the buy in was 50k usd the player field wasnt big for the obvious reasons. But that also means that the players you had to compete with, werent random ones And of course a very nice prize for the first place.

Players with a lot of money prefer smaller tournaments as well. But the condition is that: there must be many entries for good prizes. The big prizes always attract big players. I saw this online where many stars played in small buy-in tournaments, because the final table offered good prizes.
