22名扑克选手承诺在扑克锦标赛中下注百万美元

  世界扑克系列比赛委员会计划在明年举行百万美元扑克锦标赛。

  世界扑克系列官员在周一表示,已有22名扑克选手承诺在比赛中最低下注100万美元,这将使该比赛事件将使世界系列扑克机构系获得客观的收益。

  WSOP发言人塞斯Palansky在周一告诉美联社,将会有七位玩家在该比赛获得最高奖项,最高奖项将高达1200万美元。

  在这22名玩家中,最高奖金为8890000美元,远远超过德国选手比约亨氏在上个月赢得的173000美元重奖。该比赛的最高奖项金额约等于2006年主要的扑克赛事奖金总额。获胜者可以在此次赛事上获得令人无比心动的巨额奖金财富。1976年的世界扑克锦标赛最高奖项仅为22000美元,是历届世界扑克锦标赛中最小的金额数。

  百万美元扑克锦标赛收入的11%将作为慈善捐款,捐给申办世界杯费用的慈善机构以及蒙特利尔的非政府组织。领导组织此次扑克比赛的是太阳剧团马戏团创始人盖拉力波特,他在扑克界非常有名气。著名的扑克选手丹尼尔Negreanu,汤姆Dwan,约翰尼陈和乔纳森杜哈明等扑克专业人士将出席此次扑克赛事。米高梅度假村国际行政员鲍比鲍德温和金银岛赌场老板菲尔鲁芬也表示参加明年举办的百万美元扑克锦标赛。

  22 players commit to play $1 million buy-in poker tourney

  World Series of Poker reveals plan to hold $1 million buy-in tournament next year

  World Series of Poker officials said Monday that 22 players have committed to putting up $1 million each to buy into the most expensive card tournament ever — enough to make it an official bracelet tournament that counts toward series earnings and title records.

  WSOP spokesman Seth Palansky told The Associated Press on Monday that seven more players would make the tournament's top prize the richest ever, beyond the $12 million Jamie Gold won for beating out 8,772 opponents in the no-limit Texas Hold `em main event in 2006.

  At 22 players, the top prize is $8.89 million, $173,000 more than German player Pius Heinz won for winning the main event last month. If the tournament's top prize passes the amount generated at the 2006 main event, its winner will likely shoot instantly to the top of the series' all-time money list.

  Poker icon Doyle Brunson topped 21 opponents in 1976 to win the main event for $220,000, and tournament officials later adopted the tournament's field size as the minimum future events would need to be counted in records.

  The $1 million buy-in includes an 11 percent charity donation but doesn't include the typical 10 percent rake series officials keep in fees for hosting the tournament. The charity, Montreal-based non-governmental organization One Drop, is led by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte, who is organizing the tournament.

  Committed entrants include a who's who of names famous in poker and in the gambling industry. Poker professionals who have said they will enter include Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan, Johnny Chan and Jonathan Duhamel.MGM Resorts International executive Bobby Baldwin, a four-time gold bracelet winner who won the main event in 1978, and billionaire Treasure Island casino owner Phil Ruffin have also said they'll play.
