High limit players playing from common bankroll at the Hustler?

[hetron]

I was playing 50-100 at the Taj and a player I was playing with from LA claimed that many of the hi limit "name" players who play in LA play the hi limit games there on Larry Flynt's bankroll? Anyone heard similar stories about this?

Last year, they had a $125K buyin Stud tourny with 8 participants. Rumor was that either Johnny Chan or Larry Flynt had a chunk of the action of every player other than Phil Ivey. I don't know if this is true or not. I've also heard that Chan puts people in the 20000-4000 stud game there.

They had a 25-50 PL game going a few months ago with Ben Affleck. I know for sure that Chan had a piece of a few players in that game.

As for other high limit games, I do not know. Given what I do know, though, it certainly would not surprise me.
