EPT Story - Johnny Chan in 500K+ private action

[D-Grief]

Source: I have this from a Dutch pro (cashed in this year's WSOP for 100+k).

Background: Rocky runs a 20-40NL game near Amsterdam where the rake is capped at 250 Euro and most players buy in for 5-10K.

Rocky and the players from the aforementioned cash game went to the EPT in Barcelona. One of them cashed in 14th place.

Rocky and Johnny Chan played 2 SnGs for 100K. Rocky won both. A 300/600NL game was then stated with Rocky Johnny Chan, and a Scandinavian pro (in a private suite) who's Identity I do not no. Apparently Rocky 2-outered a pot for 250K Euro+ which put him almost 500k ahead as of yesterday.

Rocky is a poor player, but a lucky guy apparently this week.

The sick part is I was thinking, damn, huge rake. Over 6 BB's in rake...then I thought about my own game, 25NL lol. The cap is 12 BB on most sites, unreal.

(Obviously the fact that edges against weaker players in 25NL are usually much larger than those in 20-40, plus rakeback, makes it not really a fair comparison; still makes ya think though.)

I can't imagine this is actually true, but yeah, I've heard $15 a hand in Aruba and a few other places.
