The three mega-events are stand-alone tournaments, with the first being contested in Australia at one of the world's finest luxury casinos. The 2006 mega-event is a single-table tournament featuring six players, each of whom will buy-in for $10 million. The tournament also features the biggest starting blinds of any sanctioned poker tournament in history.

very disappointing to see that the players will be required to pay 10 million to play in a neutral ev tournament. im sure that they are going to pay the players a good sum of money to play but i cant see this tournament taking place unless they are putting up a huge portion of the prize pool. how many players just have 10 million to laydown on a tournament? yah players like phil ivey can find backers but what about the other players?
