Yes, play money is so much fun. 🤣

There was just a thread mentioning a $1m buy-in:

Hustler Casino Live lineup for $1,000,000 buyin

Here is the latest from Hustler Casino Live and the $1,000,000.00 buyin to be held next month! https://www.pokernews.com/news/2024/04/tom-dwan-hustler-casino-live-poker-game-45751.htm

Haven't seen anything higher as that until now.

That is a cash game though, so not quite the same :)

I took part in a $109 buy-in tournament. It was my most expensive tournament and it was on PokerStars, I think it was some kind of anniversary, celebratory tournament. But unfortunately, I didn't manage to win anything.

That's what happens when you only read the titles. 🤣

But there was a $1m buy-in tournament at the WSOP in 2014, If I Recall correctly. At least I take it from this bad beat video:

My biggest buy-in so far was $120. But I didn't spend my own money from the account, I just won this ticket on the satellite. My average buy-in is 2-3 dollars.

the biggest tournaments probably amount to $25,000, I didn't see more than the amount I didn't see to log in myself, but I didn't play 109 tournaments above, I didn't play for my own money, or I hope someday I'll be able to play such expensive tournaments as $25,000 and if possible it will be a lot of fun:)

My biggest tournament entries were all won online through satellites or freerolls, two x $250 and one $215. Sadly I failed to cash in any of them.

Search for Triton, last year there was a Triton M.E of $1.05 Million buy-in. Where $50k of each one was donated to charity. Imagine giving a $1.05m buy-in shot. hahahahah

In the satellites, I won various tickets, and it seems my most expensive ticket was for $250. But from my own money, that is, from my bankroll, I never spent more than $11 :)

The Triton Million is the most expensive tournament in poker history.The starting tournament is a £25,000 6-max turbo, with no lower buy-ins available at this stage.The focus will be on the Millionaire, as well as two main events with £100,000 buy-ins.The tournament took place in London.

€55 buy in with my own money. Things could get very expensive if you keep entering at high levels. I did re enter for $11 last week in a PLO tourney and managed to take it down for first place and $390 win!

I've played a number of $1000 and $1500 buy-ins at WSOP over the past few years. One of them was last year's $1,000 seniors where I finished 59th of 8190. In for a grand, out for $13.6k.

I won some 109$ ticket from freeroll or promotion. But never cashed any money with them. Was fun to play.
