$10 Million Poker Game Cancelled

It was always looking unlikely. Now, FSN and Mansion�s plans for a $10 million buy-in, winner takes all tournament, have been scrapped. Talks began last December about the event, which was due to pit six of the world�s best (not to mention richest) players against each other in an extreme high-stakes game. However, with only Phil Ivey confirmed to take part, FSN and Mansion have agreed the whole idea just isn�t going to work and are now planning to hold on until July 2007.

It is believed that FSN executives had serious reservations about producing the $10 million event while they are working on the Mansion Poker Dome at the same time. 'To produce them both simultaneously would compromise the quality of each, a concession FSN is not willing to make,� said FSN�s Vice President of Programming and Production, George Greenberg. For now then, top pros can close their personal bank vaults and rest easy without the thought of losing a large slice of their fortune. Until next year that is.
