durrrr vs DB

I was watching 500/1000 on FT a few minutes ago and was wondering why the rake in this pot was only 50 cents:

"Total pot $242,591 | Rake $0.50"

haha that seems a bit off. Do they not collect rake when a pro playes? or is it the limit?

Also the few minutes I saw were pretty interesting because I'm pretty sure Benyamine put his whole BR on the table after he busted out a couple of times. He then came back but eh, whatever. How big do you think his br is?

They were obviouly playing heads up. WHen playing heads up on any table at any limit the maximum rake is $0.50.


Info about fulltilt rake I copy and pasted -

Well he's playing with 457 thousand :O on the table right now, so I would have to assume it's well into the millions.

Now 676 thousand since he just busted durrrr for a 436k pot. That seems ridiculous to think about for me

Aside from whatever's actually in his bankroll, Degenyamine is supposed to be up multiple millions of dollars this year playing online. Combine that with whatever he makes playing live, and the fact he had a pretty good wsop, and I think your assumption is pretty safe.

there bankroll will probably be 40 t50 million imo
