Default Who wins in the \"big game\" at the Bellagio?

The whole idea of this kinda confuses me. If everyone playing in this game are top professionals, how does anyone win at this game? And why do the losing players play in it?

It seems that they'd just trade money back and forth and everyone loses because of the casino taking it's cut.

This has been talked about like 30000000 times.

Use the search function. But the answer is Ivey, Greenstein.

There are usually one or two fish who play in the game because they think poker is the way to go these days. Everyone usually just takes pieces off them as new people join the game.

Yeah for sure, you just can't beat the rake in a $4k/8k game.

Aren't they playing rake-free? I'm pretty sure the casino does this since it has become a bit of a novelty. But it is live poker, and it will take years of hands to see who's making more than 1 or 2 BB/100.
