      • The Big Game is a high-stakes poker cash game played in "Bobby's Room", a cardroom named after Bobby Baldwin, at the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas. In 2010, the game partially expanded to "The Ivey Room" at Aria Resort and Casino. The table features no-limit and pot-limit games with wagers up to $100,000 per hand. Limit games as high as $4,000/$8,000 are often played but $800/$1,600 is normal.


      Structure


      The table features a variety of poker games played in rotation and changing every 8–10 hands. The games are selected from a list of the players' choices, including:

      Texas hold 'em (limit and no limit)
      Seven-card stud (straight high, eight or better Hi/Lo, Hi/Lo without qualifiers, limit)
      Omaha (straight high, eight or better Hi/Lo, limit and pot limit)
