Today I played in the Sunday Storm at PokerStars – guaranteed prize pool of $1Million and 200k for 1st place. Yowzer! See…I originally thought to title this ‘The Growth of Poker’ but then that would mean I’d have to go into the Cinderella Story of Chris Moneymaker and the hole card cam and the World Poker Tour and 40 other things that have been hashed and bashed until I can’t stand to think of them anymore. And more appropriately, what this is about is the fact that the prize pools and the pots are super gi-normous now and they just keep growing.
