2- The Aussie Millions Dude (confirmed)

Kerry Packer?

The man loves to gamble, but I doubt he would do it on a televised event.

Mike Sexton?"BINGO BANGO BONGO VINCE!!!!"No friggin way.....

When I said Mike Sexton I was just saying the guys who might have the bankroll for this. There obviously aren't too many, but Sexton is probablly one of them since he is so big on Party Poker.

K, I just listened to the cardplayer Matusow interview and they mentioned a few players leaving the tournament to LA to sign some multi gazillion poker thing. They said Jen Harman, Phil Ivey, and Todd Brunson left. Would this be the reason that they left to LA, to sign on to this?

probably y they all left..

Indeed, it would appear this is the real they all left in such a hurry yesterday. Todd Brunson still had a bunch of chips left and so didn't get blinded off, nor did Jen Harman. They both came back today and Jen couldn't get anything going, but apparently Todd is still in it. The Cardplayer live video team interviewed him, and he was still at 50k in chips at the time. To my knowledge, he hasn't been eliminated. So there is half of the table right there.

Phil Gordon could also easily afford playing in this tournament.

I really don't think whether or not the player's bankroll could handle the buy-in for this tournament is a factor, because the players who play in it most likely will be staked at least partly, if not all the way by either some rich bastard, or by a group of rich bastards.

HIGH Stakes Poker: The $10 Million Buy in Tournament is HereDecember 12, 2005John CaldwellPrintEmail to a friendPost a comment And you thought the 'Big Game' at Bellagio was for high stakes. Today, Fox Sports, along with new poker site Mansion Poker.net announced by far the biggest buy in poker tournament in history. Six players will each put up ten million dollars each to play in, what will amount to the biggest sit-n-go in the history of the world. Despite the fact that no participants have been formally announced, PokerNews.com has learned that there is one confirmed participant. It is no surprise that the name Phil Ivey is being rumored as a confirmed participant, and this fact may be confirmed as early as the next day or so. According to Fox Sports Net VP George Greenberg, it will take "upwards of at least two months to lock all the participants down" The ten million dollar buy in event will be held in Australia, probably on July 12th at the Crown Casino in Melbourne. The goal of Fox Sports Net is to broadcast the bulk of the event, and they hope the final two hours will be broadcast on 'Big Fox', the main Fox Network. Howard Lederer had this to say about the event, and what it will take to win it "The winner of that event is going to be the guy or girl who can kind of put the money completely out of their head. They just have to completely bear down on the task at hand. I think if any player really gets wrapped up in the money, and starts to think 'Oh my God, I have 10 million wrapped up here', they may freeze up, they aren't going to be able to play the good poker that put them in a position to feel like they should play an event like this, and they won't win." This big buy in event will have three or four top pros, and at least two internet qualifiers. Lederer thought the internet qualifiers might really have a chance to win. "If there is an amateur player that is on a freeroll here, where they have nothing to lose in terms of their reputation, they might be freer to play their game, and maybe their game isn't as good as some of the pros at the table, but if they are able to play their game, and the pros are freezing up because there is a lot at stake in terms of reputation, and the pros have never encountered that situation before, I think the amateurs could have a very reasonable chance." One would assume you will be able to qualify for one of those precious two, or three slots via the sponsoring website. Stay tuned to PokerNews.com for more details on this event, and start putting your change in a jar to scrape the buy in together.
