Almost Party Time
Welcome to the Million Dollar Cash Game in Oz. We'll bring you all of the action as some of the game's biggest names play some of the game's biggest pots. These guys face off regularly on the virtual felt, but today we get to watch them go for the jugular in person. The game is No-Limit Hold'em, and stakes are starting at $300/$600 but could jump to $600/$1,200 before we're done. Minimum buy-in is a sweet $100,000, but with many players loading up with more, there could quickly be over $1 million on the table.
You may have heard about crazy action in the high-stakes cash games in Macau in recent months, but details have been scarce. Now we get a front row seat as the Macau game has been moved to Melbourne for the afternoon. Three wealthy Chinese business, Wang Qiang, Paul Phua, and Richard Yong, are regulars in the biggest game in Macau and will be taking seats here to try their luck against Patrik Antonius, John Juanda, Eli Elezra, Tom Dwan, and Phil Ivey.
They've let the fans in already, and they're filling into the stands. Camera crews are getting set, and players are getting last-minute make up touch ups. Once Patrik Antonius' head is appropriately powdered, we'll get some cards in the air and some big chips flying.
