Rono Lo and Paul Phua play "casual" $1,000,000 pot at the Aussie Millions cash game

This January, during the Aussie Millions tournament series, there was a huge cash game running, with players like Phil Ivey, Ike Haxton, Paul Newey, Patrik Antonius, Doug "WCGRider" Polk, Max "AltiFC" Altergott, Paul Phua and Rono Lo. Phua and Lo, the two Chinese businessmen got into a $1 million pot, check out the video below.

We have recently published an article [2] where PokerStars Team Pro Raymond Wu talks about the craziness that ensues during play when Chinese players are involved, and in this video we can definitely see what he is talking about.

There have been two televised hands in poker history that produced million dollar pots (Phil Ivey vs. Tom Dwan [3] and Tom Dwan vs. Barry Greenstein [4]), and in both hands you could the tension in the air and see the players sporting a poker face, regardless of winning or losing. In this hand, Rono Lo is eating noodles during the whole hand, at one point he counts from 6 to 10 to confirm he has a straight, and generally acts very excited in the whole hand, while Phua squirms in his seat, visibly amused with Lo's all-in bet and the reactions that follow.
