Damn, I recognize that guy. He was on Ultimate Cash Game, gambling away client's cash. just kidding . Bob is a good poker player, tight and aggressive.
Several years back I was in Las Vegas, after having spent a week at Mandalay Bay I had a few hours to kill before my plane left, so I went by Bright Trading. I wanted to talk briefly with Don Bright but he was in his office on the phone, but while waiting around I decided to go to the Gun store down the street. I ended up renting some machine guns and used up all my extra time, and had to head off to the airport. It was the middle of the day and the office seemed somewhat deserted, most traders were probably off to lunch...or trading remotely. The video reminded me of that day.
Million Dollar buy in poker tournament... you guys "in"?
My brother had dinner with the guy putting this thing together, July 2012.
Keep your fingers crossed, don't want my brother's kids to go broke if he loses their inheritance, LOL.
I played in the last "biggest buy in" game (only $50k) a few years back with Bob and some of our traders and others. Not going to be in this one, just Bob. Can't seem to find the youtube of it... it's out there somewhere.

I guess Bob might be the "prominent business man" - I really don't know, I just heard from Bob yesterday that he did actually commit to this thing...should be fun to watch.
Don
edit: Just FYI, this entry fee is about 20% of his trading profits this year I think...he's had a pretty good year...and who knows, maybe he'll win the stupid thing.
