Big Game (poker)

The Big Game refers to a famous high-stakes poker ring game played in "Bobby's Room", a cardroom named after Bobby Baldwin, at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. [http://www.cardplayer.com/magazine/article/15475 Eli Elezra's Perfect Balance] , "Card Player" magazineClarifyme|subst:DATE|reason=This is an incomplete reference citation; use to provide source details, including date.] The table features no-limit and pot-limit games with wagers up to $100,000 per hand. Limit games as high as $4000/$8000 are often played but $2000/$4000 is normal.

The table features a variety of poker games played in rotation and changing every 8–10 hands. The games are selected from a list of the players' choices, including:

*Texas hold 'em (limit and no limit)
*Seven-card stud (straight high, eight or better Hi/Lo (also Hi/Lo regular, which does not have an 8 high requirement for a low hand), limit)
*Omaha (straight high, eight or better Hi/Lo, limit and pot limit)
*Deuce-to-seven triple draw (limit)
*Deuce-to-seven single draw (no limit)
*Ace-to-Five triple draw (limit)
*Ace-to-Five single draw (no limit)
*Razz (limit)

Usually players buy in for $200,000–300,000, but anyone with the minimum buy in of $80,000 is welcome to play.
