Six of the ten tournaments were played in the No Limit Hold'em variant , with one being played with a short deck . Two events were played in Pot Limit Omaha and one event each in 8-Game and Big Bet Mix . Due to the high buy-in, only the world's best poker players and wealthy businessmen could be found at the tournaments.
