Johnny Chan grote winnaar in Macau cashgames

De highstakes in games in Macau lijken nu echt goed los te gaan en daarmee ook de stroom aan geruchten. Volgens Poker Portal Asia is de tienvoudige bracelet winnaar Johnny Chan de grootste winnaar tot op heden in de games.

Na zijn uitschakeling in het APPT even zou hij rechtstreeks naar de highstakes games gelopen zijn en daar HKD $10,000/$20,000 (~US$1300/US$2600) No Limit Hold'em zijn gaan spelen.

Na dit nieuws meldde ook Macau Pro zich in de 2+2 chat over de games, die het nieuws bevestigde dat Chan inderdaad de grote winnaar was. Verder vertelde hij dat Partik Antonius niet toegelaten wordt tot de games.

"Confirmed that Patrik Antonius was not allowed into the game, James Bord (who was playing) tried to get him in but Guy Laliberte insisted no WAY. Antonius played ~US$640/US$1280 PLO instead with Andrew "good2cu" Robl and a few others.

So far Johnny Chan is the big winner in the games, up over 11 million Hong Kong Dollars (~US$1,4M).",

Het nieuws dat Antonius niet mee mag kaarten werd op 2+2 gepost door niemand minder dan PN collega Webjoker die op vakantie in Macau is:

I was just in the Starworld where they were just starting a $5,000/$10,000 HKD game. Guy Laliberté was there with a hot girl on his side and I saw Johnny Chan sitting. They were just setting up the table but one of the guys from the casino brought in a wooden box with more plaques of $500,000HKD and $100,000HKD than I've ever seen before in one place.

I left after that but heard from my friend who was playing a HKD$1.000 sit&go that Antonius tried to get in but wasn't allowed. He told me that he was watching a hand where a good American player (he recognized him but didn't knew his name) got allin on the flop for a $3 million HKD pot with ace-koning versus jack-ten on three-eight-nine. Two bricks later he scooped the pot and the Chinese businessman reloaded by getting some plaques from his side-table where he had a total of HKD$7,000,000 laying around. Also heard, from a very reputable guy, that foreigners have to pay back 20% of their winnings in some cases to the casino.

The games here are truly sick. The biggest they have running in The Wynn is $300/$600 HKD but it's pretty deep. Venetian and Grand Lisboa have no bigger games than $100/$200 that I've seen or heard of.
