Thread: High Stakes Cash Games in Macau

The latest reports from various message boards and first hand accounts are that Team Full Tilt members Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, and John Juanda were all playing in the highest stakes poker game running in Macau. They had been playing at Starworld Casino. The latest rumor is that John Juanda left town a big winner.

Currently Tom Dwan is playing HU against a Shanghai Businessman and these are reports from Stella Yeh, who is onsite.

The blinds are $4,000 / $8,000 HK Dollars. I believe the current conversion rate is about 7.8 HK dollars = 1 US dollar.

"Hi All,

So as someone has posted earlier, everyone is already aware that durrrr's been playing heads up with a guy from Shanghai for over 12+ hours already. 30k-60k HKD NL . As I've said already I cannot mention who's winning. But I can update two hands that were pretty big pots. And because these hands happened when I wasn't around apparently noone saw the first bits of how the hands went down. So apologies on that part.

Hand of the Day:

FLOP: 6clubs, 9 clubs, 7 hearts
TURN: 3spades (Pot is already at 10M, not sure how it got to that before the turn)
RIVER: 8 diamonds
Shanghai Guy: Bets 3M into the 10M pot
Durr: pushes ALL in .....7m raise on top of the 3M
Shanghai Guy: FOLD
Durr: Shows Kspades,9 spades

NEXT HAND (Back to Back)
FLOP: 3clubs, 8clubs, 6 spades (5M pot, again dont know how it got to that)
TURN: Qclubs
Shanghai guy: Bets 2M into a 5M pot
Durr: raises it to 6M
Shanghai guy: FOLD

Sorry I didnt get to see the beginning of these pots, but I guess everyone can comment and guess on what they think happened."
