Setting Up for Insanity
Play should be underway shortly for the second day of the Million Dollar Cash Game. If yesterday's action was any indication, the money will be flying around the felt. There are already stacks of chips worth $100,000 in front of each seat, but that's only the minimum buy-in. Many players will start with more and others will find themselves reloading quickly. At $500/$1,000 with a $1,000 button ante, no limit hold'em gets expensive.
No word on the official line up yet, as players are still negotiating for their spots. Justin "Boosted J" Smith, David Benyamine, David Oppenheim, and Mike Matusow are in the vicinity and more players are on the way. The most compelling action yesterday came from three Asian businessmen who traveled from Macau to join the game in Melbourne. All three are currently still alive in Day 1c of the Main Event, so they won't be joining us just yet.
