So he lost like $2 million in a $1k/2k game? Online this would be like losing a 100xBB max buy-in. That's not even counting the $400 ante.

he said that he lost a 1.8m pot, and he was down $700-800k after that, meaning that he was probably somewhere around even at the time of that hand. I am trying to figure out what stakes they could be playing where he could be 'even' and lose $800K... unless he started the night down and then built a large stack to get even.

Is this the largest pot ever?

i'd guess there were many bigger pots in the HU 100k/200k game.

jen harman won a $2m+ pot in the big game once.

I believe her pot was closer to 1.7 mil. This may be the largest pot ever if it was 1.8 mil.

in the big game there is a 100K cap for pl/nl right? how could someone win that big of a pot?

phatjeffrey · #**114** 07-14-2007, 05:24 PM

the "new" game is uncapped .. the usual big game is mostly limit and capped.

I believe the cap is for the mixed game where they plays lots of limit games as well as NLHE and PLO. WHen they play only NLHE/PLO they get rid of any cap.

No. Why would they have a cap for a limit game, to save someone one bet?

I think he meant the cap is just for the NL/PL games

um your math skills are kind of weak. 100 x 2k = 200k

THAY3R · #**119** 07-14-2007, 05:32 PM

With antes of $400, a stack of 200k is essentially much less than 100 bb's.
