The rake in live high stakes games in pretty small as a percentage of the pot. In the biggest games in the US, they may be paying like $30/hour time charge.

Wasn't there some Swedish pro (Martin somebody?) who hired a cheat (Russ G?) to rig a hotel room with cameras? The idea was he would get his buddies out of casino to play in his room. The scheme didn't work because they wouldn't leave the casino.

When Brunson et al were trading public letters with Andy Beal to negotiate more heads-up limit play, one of the points that the pros insisted on was that the games be played in a licensed casino.

I think a better question might be why would anyone take the risk of playing a high-stakes game in a private-home when there's a much safer option in the form of a casino available for a pretty low fee (low compard to the stakes they are playing for at least)
