Big Game (poker)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Big Game refers to a famous poker table in Bobby's Room at the Bellagio casino. It is famous for being the highest stakes table regularly in play. The table includes a variety of poker games in rotation, changed every 8-10 hands and selected from a list of the players' choices, including:

• Texas hold 'em (limit and no limit)
• Seven-card stud (Regular, Eight or better Hi/Lo)
• Omaha (Eight or better Hi/Lo, limit and pot limit)
• Deuce-to-seven triple draw (limit)
• Deuce-to-seven single draw (no limit)
• Ace-to-Five triple draw (limit)
• Ace-to-Five single draw (no limit)

The area is completely private in that it is separate from the rest of the casino, however, anyone who can afford the minimum buy in of $80,000 is welcome to play. Usually players buy in for at least $200,000.

In the no-limit and pot-limit games, no player can wager more than $100,000 per hand.[1] In the limit games, the blinds often go as high as $4000/$8000 but are normally played at $2000/$4000.
