Two of Daniel Negreanu's recent blogs talk about the big game. On one day this was the lineup:

Seat 1: Chip Reese
Seat 2: Phil Ivey
Seat 3 Johnny Chan
Seat 4: Negreanu
Seat 5: Gus Hansen
Seat 6: Lee Salem
Seat 7: Doyle Brunson
Seat 8: Chau Giang

and the next day this was it:

Seat One: Negreanu
Seat Two: Johnny Chan
Seat Three: Chau Giang
Seat Four: Phil Ivey
Seat Five: Lee Salem
Seat Six: Chip Reese (followed by Gus Hansen)
Seat Seven: Lyle Berman
Seat Eight: Doyle Brunson

So my question is...... who plays in these games besides the top 10-15 pros in the world? I've heard about super whales like Andy Beal that fly in sometimes but what about normal days? Seems that these guys would be passing the same money around to each other 90% of the time. How much money do you think Chip and Doyle have passed between each other over the past 20- 30 years?

Oh, another question... Todd Brunson plays there alot too correct?? I'm assuming he can hang with 'em or he wouldn't play but does he play anywhere else? Tourneys? Cash games?
