Casino Game: World Series of Poker All-in Holdem

[Pot Luck]

I heard there is a Texas Holdem based casino game at the Bellagio.

*Player antes
*Player is dealt 2 cards face down as is the dealer.
*Player looks at hole cards and has three choices (1) Fold (2) Raise - must bet 5x ante (3) All-In - must bet 10x ante
* Dealer then looks at his hole cards and must fold or call by rules (1) if player raised dealer must call if he has a pair or 13 or higher card total - otherwise dealer folds and pays even money on original ante. (2) if the player went All-In the dealer must call with any pair or card total of 17 or more -- otherwise he folds and pays even money on original ante.

Next, 5 community cards are dealt face up and there is a show down. If player makes best poker hand he gets paid even money on original ante and raise/all-in amount.

Anyway -- there are supposedly some side bets as well.


Has anyone seen/played this game.

Thanks!

Sounds gay. Why not just play poker.

Whoever invented this game must be a real moron.

I believe you mean WPT All-In Hold'em.

I saw this at the Bellagio a couple weeks ago and thought about throwing $50 away and trying it but they hadn't opened the table yet. Doesn't really look like that fun of a game though.
