Got this from google, the link was broken, but it looks like they pay either $10 an hour or $10 every half hour (probably every half): Poker Forum Search...

That is a great article. Do you really think that Hellmuth, Lederer, Negreneau, and Chan couldn't hold their own in the top game?

I think Negreanu has proven that he definitely can.

Thank you very much for this link.

I thought chan did play in this game? Also doesn't this game comprise of those sharks eating up rich folks who don't mind losing 100g's in order to tell their buddies at the country club that they sat with the best in the world?
