Is this the most ever on an online NL/PL table?

Default Are the Full Tilt Pros \"House players\" or Shills ?

The economics of this are difficult to grasp, except as a loss leader.

The rake is apparently capped at $2.

Is FT putting up stakes for House players ? Otherwise, the cost of depositing funds dwarfs the rake. Additionally, if the money is fronted by the site, how likely is it these are actually famous players acting as shills ?

(I ask because extending credit to House players from the US would clearly violate the UIGE Act. Not that Gus is from the US, but other players such as Matusow are.)

No.

Edit: Maybe for total on a table, but not an individual stack.

Prima uncapped 2 or 3 handed games, there have been some 800k+ individual, tables close to 1.3, 1.4 million, IIRC.

Could be wrong though. I'll let others elaborate.
