The $1 million tournament buy in

[only_bridge]

saving up now...only $999,999 to go....

U better get 2 buyins, so you have good BRM.

 

[Aldito]

Lol, how ridiculous

 

[midgetfactory]

silly idea i think

 

[DaveE]

M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G guys!!! Put on a spectacle that people are interested in watching. That's why the wsop was started.

Guess the top 200 players in the world could go play in someone's basement or in the backroom of an undisclosed casino instead?

 

[marlydog1812]

I think its a great idea, with the $2 I made in a freeroll today, Im one step closer

 

[FreeRollWannabe]

I don't see why its silly. Players with that much money must have a hard time getting 'the rush' they use to feel when they started out. With 17 mil on the line I'm sure the players will have a good time.

Hell if I had 20 mil in the bank, I'd drop a mil to play and see if I can't double what I own up.

Its their money, they can do with it whatever they want.

Seems like a good idea to me... shipping 11% (or however much it is) to charity is also very cool (< & great for image of poker to general public)

BRM ftw

That's just the sort of tourny I would love to watch on tv !
Let me know when the $1 satelites begin.

 

[scottieb668]

wow i will watch it too... I wish i could play in that tourney!!!! It would be fun.....

 

[OzExorcist]

BRM ftw

BRM is for games that you're going to play in regularly. Since there's no such thing as regular tournaments with $1 million buyins BRM doesn't apply - either you're willing to risk a million bucks one time or you're not.

 

[pol_92121]

So basically 48 Seats = 48M

11% of 48M is around 4.5M

Now the grand prize of 17M is huge and that's more than x2 what a normal PRO would earn in his life right?

the people that win that tourney will become the most winner poker player of the world.. like erick seidel...

 

[essambb]

actually the winner of this tournrmnet will be the player with the biggest payout in the history all time tournemnt earning passing eric sidel , phil ivey and Daniel Negreanu
by 3 or 4 mil not only in the world series but all tournemnt compine

 

[OzExorcist]

...except it'll obviously be Erik Seidel that wins it so it'll just be him adding to his lead, not somebody overtaking him

 

[physiotherapist]

someone loan me 999900$???? i have 100$

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's against the rules on the site to ask for $'s

 

[rugby0]

I will sell shares for 25.00. Any one interested?

 

[fugitive67]

ha, gotta find a way to satellite into this baby

 

[moots]

I'm sure all the pros will have their buy-ins funded by their respective poker site, but should be still fun to watch with that much money up for grabs.

 

[OzExorcist]

I'm sure all the pros will have their buy-ins funded by their respective poker site

...actually I think that's a lot less likely post-Black Friday - there will certainly be a lot less pros staked by their sites and even if it weren't for Black Friday a million bucks is still an awful lot of money.

It'll show us who really isn't busto IMO.

 

[regd87]

The world is gonna end in 2012 anyways so they better spend their winnings fast

 

[Poker Orifice]

Wonder if I can get staked by Max Katz (Russian staker) for this event? Assuming my Fantasy Freeroll stats would be sufficient.

 

[iamnotgod]

Best tournament of all time !!! xD
