I agree retire from poker. There is savings accounts with 5% interest right now, so he could take that $20,000,000 and draw a nice living with a $1,000,000 in yearly interest! Or is $83,333 a month not a good living?

That's what I'm freaking saying..I would do just that. Then with the $1 mil a year I make, I would go down to lower limits and play just to put bad beats on people. I'm a bad person.

My immediate reaction to that was that it was a typo or something and he meant 2mil, 20mil is just not possible unless they really upped the stakes and cap.

There were recently rumors he was stucka bunch of mil in that game, maybe people just like speculating about him.

Wasnt he one of the softer players in the 5k NL on UB back when it was the biggest game on there?

20m?!

Didn't they used to play 8k/16k consistantly but it was too high for most players. I think that's what it said in Barry G's book. 20 million is definitely a ton. The guy I guess if this is true is on an absolute sick heater.

In 2002, I believe. Also read that Flack played in that game.

edit: I was wrong about LF.

"At one point in 1999, I stayed home and ran thousands of poker hands in my head. Then, I started playing in Larry Flynt's $2,000-$4,000 stud game. I moved up to the $6,000-$12,000 game at Harrah's, where I met Jerry Buss."

He's Magic Pitch on UB and Stars right?

If it's true, there're must be a few people hurting over there. I have a feeling that some of those players are like us. They tend to play just a little over their heads.

They player 8/16k during the WPT event in April. I would imagine they are playing at least that now during the World Series.
