Big players’ mark
September 7, 2008, 6:42 am (3 years ago)Players like Phil Ivey, Cole South and Brian Townsend are frequently found playing the “nosebleed” stakes of No-Limit Hold ‘em and Pot-Limit Omaha. It’s not rare to find some well-known names assembled at a $200/$400 No Limit table with $50,000 stacks.
Full Tilt Poker took this to a new peak lately when a $500/$1,000 No Limit table with a gigantic $200,000 buy-in was produced. High rolling expert Tom “durrr” Dwan and WSOP bracelet champion Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond were among the 1st on the picture.
Tom Dwan was the game’s great champion, at one point boosting his stack to $724k after drooping a set of aces in opposition to persistent attack from his opponent. Several pots bordered on the half-million mark.
