Well, you know you have made it in poker when you get a high stakes poker room named after you... not that Phil Ivey needed this accolade to know that he had made it of course. Todays outward looking link is from just before the opening... it seems that the Aria casino are making a play for the type of games usually held in 'Bobbies Room' at the Bellagio.
There are some great prizes (including a $100k bounty) for the opening weekend, the question is whether this room will gain traction amoung the high-stakes crowd... will the legend of the french Businessman dumping millions on the tables re-appear for this years World Series (the time when the huge-stakes games are traditionally at their busiest).... will the relatively unknown Aria gain a name for itself, pushing the Rio, Bellagio and Horseshoe down the poker pecking order?
Well, we will see our course, however one thing is for certain - competition is always a great thing!
