i saw an advert in PIE today  for a series of comps on a cruise ship, each is limited to 500 runners


the final comps are buy ins of 1 million €


do you think people will actually play in this

or have i miss read something in the advert ( i was babysitting my newphew while reading it)

there are not 500 people in the world who would pay €1m to play in a poker tourney so i would guess its a mis-read.

How do you know there are not 500 ppl willing to poney up the dough?  I think its quite possible tbh, plenty of high stakes players and millionaire / billionaire gamblers

I'll play.  Think we'll have to start a whip-round though.  If I start collecting the 50 pences....
