Yeah crazy indeed. Other than the money is this had really noteworthy? To me its the money the cards played themselves. Otherwise as it seems the action is going to be in Macau instead of Bobby's Room...

Re: Sick....just sick!

the interesting part is that, according to Matt Savage (from a post to 2+2), NLHE is the only type of cash game allowed in the casino due to some weird gambling regulations there. the games in bobby's room are mixed games with the vast majority of the games being limit, so playing all NLHE cash is not too typical for most of the pros in the game. there are some other stories on HSDB and in the NVG thread on 2+2 of some similarly sick swings (though not within one hand like chau's here) for ivey, durrrr, and juanda.

EDIT: one post by savage mentioned that to get the action really hot the local businessmen insisted on playing 1300/2600 with a 2600 ante (not a typo!). SICK.
