fyp..
some names are suprising. I'm suprised duhamel is player for example
This Is a Freeroll, Guy Laliberte is just adding 1M for every top name pro that wants in!! JK, But he could if he wanted to!!! His net worth is 2.5 Billion.
Kidding?
He's the one who organized this event isn't he?
That was a pretty surprising name for me on that list. Makes sense when you put it that way though.
As well as this extensive interview with Guy (on event) by Lynne Bennett:

So if he gets more money then he becomes God?
*In honour of the recent, yet all too infrequent, 800Over sighting.
Naah . . . he'd never take the pay CUT.
This is actually the structure for some sit n go's on America's cardroom.;)
apparently they are going with the normal starting stack format in the wsop which is 3x the buy-in...so $3 million starting stacks.
Selling 99% and will only play if all of it sells
No mark up
1% - $10,000
will only accept cashiers check in US Funds
who wants a piece of this action?
LOL YA RIGHT
.001% please

lol i was going to post this as well
Nit . . .
personally, i don't see what the big deal is. who cares if only certain people can afford it? i completely agree with terrance chan's opinion on the matter:
“I think it’s patently ridiculous that there are some poker superstars who are up in arms about this tournament being a bracelet event because its high buy-in excludes so many people,” Chan said. "It kind of shows how removed from reality they are when they don’t realize that even $10,000 buy-in tournaments seem gigantic for the vast majority of poker players worldwide. It’s like these people think they have a god-given right to play the largest poker tournament in existence, and if there’s one that’s larger, they have to hate on it.”
if he does, he'll run top full hose into quads and beat him self up for "thinking the guy was just bluffing" followed by slowrolling his 3 opponents with straight flushes 24/7, it'll be a mess <.<
