"60 million dollar winner take all tournament? They might as well say they're giving away the state of Louisiana"---Todd Brunson on Carplayer.com video interview.

Damn that made me laugh.

i can't imagine them being able to find enough players to do this. it would be difficult to fill a s&g with a one million dollar buy in.

Another link to the story from an Aussie site here.

Think about it this way, you would need the equivalent of a winner-take-all 1,000 person major tournament (as defined today) to produce ONE seat.

"If it's OK with you, I think I'm going to opt for the cash value instead of using my seat."

Why not slow down a bit and just do a $1 milion BI that would be crazy enough.
