Big Game (poker)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Game refers to a famous poker cash game played in "Bobby's Room"[1] at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2] The table features no-limit and pot-limit games with wagers up to $100,000 per hand.[2] Limit games high as $4000/$8000 are often played but $2000/$4000 is normal.[2]
The table features a variety of poker games played in rotation and changing every 8-10 hands. The games are selected from a list of the players' choices, including:[2]
- Texas hold 'em (limit and no limit)
- Seven-card stud (straight high, eight or better Hi/Lo (also Hi/Lo regular, which does not have an 8 high requirement for a low hand), limit)
- Omaha (straight high, 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)
- Razz
Usually players buy in for $200,000-300,000, but anyone with the minimum buy in of $80,000 is welcome to play.[2]
