I don't get this at all, they go from a 25K buy-in to 10 mil??? thats a big jump in high buy in events.

I would be surprised if they find 4 pros who will put up this amount even with backers. This is surreal

some of them do quite well, but I have a hard time envisioning them having this kind of money to use on poker.

I mean, if you have 50 mil that is 1/5th of your worth.

Bill gates, roman abramovich, etc?

Might be 1-2 pros, 2-3 rich business men and uh, I really dont believe internet qualies can come up with 10mill, not unless party, stars and ub all get together and lay on some seriously heavy pr.

ivey and hellmuth are in it.... i almost guarantee it... hellmuth would fork over the 10 mil just for all the TV time he can suck out of it

As for the internet qualifiers... just have $20+2 qualifiers to a $215 qualifier to a $100,000 qualifier for the $10,000,000 seat

$10,000,000 dived by $100,000 qualifier = a hundred $100,000 qualifier tournys. i dont know the details but if this was done on one site, in a direct entry structure, it would take vary long even with good traffic like stars. But not as crazy as it seems.
