$500,000 High Roller at the Aria Casino this summer

According to businessman and poker know-it-all Tom Hall, even though there will be no $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop this year, players who seek ultra-high stakes action won't be disappointed, as Aria Resort & Casino is planning a $500,000 buy-in event.

Tom Hall is a successful businessman as well as an avid poker player, who has participated in the legendary Macau high stakes battles and wrote about them on the 2+2 forums.

Hall once again had interesting news for poker fans when he tweeted the following last Friday: 

By the looks of it, the CEO of College Loan Corporation, businessman Cary Katz seems to be behind the tournament. Katz participated in the Big One for One Drop last year and it seems like he didn't have enough of the high stakes battle that such a huge tournament guarantees.

Tom Hall, as you can see from his tweet, also participated in the tournament but eventually busted as the bubble boy after losing a coinflip.
