Poker fans have been distracted from the World Series of Poker this week by the livestreamed Aria Super High Roller Cash Game, a $250,000 buy-in, invitation only competition that is being contested by some of the world’s best known players.
It’s high roller territory, with blinds of $400/$800 with a $200 ante, providing riveting viewing over two more days through the Twitch channel here: http://www.twitch.tv/pokercentral between 2pm and 2am PST.
Viewers can watch some of the best known names in the business in action, including Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson, Jennifer Tilly, Johnny Chan, Antonio Esfandiari, Jean Robert Bellande, Bob Bright and Matthew Kirk.
Pots well in excess of half a million dollars featured on the first day, and there have been several reloads at $250,000 a pop, promising plenty more big money excitement on the remaining two days.
Antonio Esfandiari, a man certainly used to big money following his spectacular tournament wins that have included the multi-million dollar One Drop competition, is reportedly out in front at the Aria at the moment, but there’s still two days to go!
