In addition, for 2013, if all goes well, could see the birth of one of the largest tournaments in the history of poker, that of the Macao Pro Am Open.


The total of awards could be in the order of $ 100 million and the winner of the tournament could come away with the sum of $ 25 million (this is at least the objective). If all goes as planned, this tournament will be in summer 2013. Remember that the largest award won at the WSOP was by Jamie Gold and did not have half that we hope to assign in 2013.


According to William Murray, a businessman involved in this project, the aim would be to bring together 500 participants including 1 third of Asians, 1 third of Americans and 1 third from the rest of the world, to make Macau the world capital of poker, nothing less (Macau is already the world capital of Baccarat).
