The first 1 million game of poker took place in 2012
Most of us play poker for low to middle stakes, but Guy Laliberte, the CEO of Cirque Du Soleil, decided to go for broke when he suggested a million buy-in tournament in 2012. It seemed like folly at first, but 48 players participated in this dramatic tournament at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the winner, “The Magician” Antonio Esfandiari, taking home a record in winnings.
The largest game of poker every played was in the UK!
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this June 2013 poker tournament took place in Onchan, Isle of Man and had 225,000 players who played for a top prize.
The longest-running game of poker ever played lasted more than 8 years
