Today, when we think to the cash highstakes in casino games, we immediately think of Macao and the Poker King Club, the Starworldcasino poker room. Several large parts to play, but little information coming out of this room since the discretion is required in this kind of party.
Recently, a rumor wanted that Tom "durrrr" Dwan has won 25 M$ at one of these parties.
Later, Dwan has denied this fact via his Twitter account. But still, the new did talk for a few days.
Today, another rumor is circulating, including because of a few posts on American Twoplustwo forums.
The information would come us from Tom Hall, an influential person in gambling in Macau.
In his words: "two well-known professional players (Tom Dwan and a Scandinavian) had huge stacks before them and the rest of the table was composed exclusively of Asian players. "There was so much chips on the table he had no place to play. (see photo that accompanies this article)
"The guys played for 2 days with breaks of 4 hours here and there [...] In total, there were about 20 million dollars on the table, adds the reliable source of the Big Game. Armoured vehicles were $4K / $8K when I was there, but they were mounted to 12.5 K$ / 25 K$ at the beginning of session. It was not a part that I wanted to join, the smallest carpet having a million dollars in front of him. »
Later in the story, one can read than a jar of 5, 1 M$ was played (HK $ 40 million). The action takes place between a pro and a local player heads-up.
The flop is KhTs7s.
The bulk of the action took place at the turn and the River (Tc and 5s). Finally, the pot has been shared since both players had ATo.
Hall concluded: "the atmosphere is always friendly and cheerful around the table [...]." You understand why the largest contingent of players for One Drop comes from Macao and I think to join me the party this year.
