100 Million dollar 6-player tournament
I know that there somewhere is a topic on this one, but I can't find it.
It seems that there is a $100M buy-in, 6 player tournament scheduled for '08. There is a $10 million buy in tourney being arranged right now but i believe they only have 1 or 2 players. It is winner take all with a $60,000,000 prize going to the winner.
I was reading this on cardplayer and someone wrote this:

When I was on the UB World Poker Challenge TV table last July, I was lucky enough to have dinner with Matt Savage and the VP of Fox Sports and the VP was setting up this deal while we ate....We also got to meet the owners of the Crown Casino in Australlia (cool guys man ). Well while we ate he mentioned a couple names.....at this point I think he was throwing name out as "potential", but here is what he said: Phil Ivey, Doyle, Hellmuth, Chau Giang, Andy Beal, Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Sammy Farha and he also talked of a online qualifier for one no namer.

What do you think of this format? Is it absurd, will this be the top of the mountain in poker regarding popularity? I like the idea, but it's getting way out of control with these big/bigger/biggest things.
