What happened to the ginormous Prima NL games? (and a funny SR hand)

[bdk3clash]

Prima used to have $50-100, $100-200, and $200-400 blind NL games, and now they don't. Did they get rid of them? They were fun to watch.

Oh yeah, here's a fun SpiritRock/Mahatma hand I just saw go down at the UB $50-100 NL:

Yep. Never understood the economics behind these tables. Tons of rake "disappears" out of the system when a 5/10 grinder blows almost his whole roll while taking a shot at det big games. If these money stayed at 5/10, they would probably get raked over and over again.
