High Rollers Event Set to Begin

[user75032]

Welcome back to the Grand Waldo Hotel and Casino in Macau. After a long night for the final table participants of the APPT Macau Main Event that ended when PokerStars internet qualifier Edward Sabat rivered a diamond flush against Charles "the Chuck Truck" Chua, we're set to start all over again for the High Rollers Event. This buy-in for this event is a whopping HKD150,000 (roughly USD19,200) and is sure to attract the cream of the poker-playing crop here in Macau.

The High Rollers event is a three-day event that will feature deep starting stacks and one hour levels. PokerNews will have live updates of all the action direct from the tournament floor. Join us at 1:30pm local time (in about forty-five minutes) as the action gets underway.
