Why is the £50 note the largest? Surely its time to get some bigger notes.

Quite agree, fed up of having loads of £50's kicking around Cheesy

Switzerland has a note worth about £500 - that's more like it.

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

They are unlikely to do it because of money laundering.  The larger the note the easier to smuggle to jurisdictions with dodgy banks and dodgy merchandise.  Apparently Spain has a huge number of €500 notes in circulation on a per capita basis and this is linked to the emigre criminals of the coastal regions.  Scotland can get away with larger notes because they aren't easily accepted anywhere but the UK.

Apparently it's because they have to send them back to Scotland and can't recycle them.  Some places won't take them at all.
