That was a pretty surprising name for me on that list. Makes sense when you put it that way though.

Guy Laliberte is the guy who founded/owns/made a shitload of $$$ off of Cirque du Soleil. He spent $20M so he could wear his red clown nose on the International Space Station a few years ago. He could probably buy Greece right now, and wipe out their debt issues. More money then God.

guy is sponsoring this event. his charity (one drop foundation) is taking $111,111 as a donation. winner is getting a platinum bracelet. duhamel works for the foundation as well and is most likely why he's in it. event is open to all and capped at 48.

So if he gets more money then he becomes God?

apparently they are going with the normal starting stack format in the wsop which is 3x the buy-in...so $3 million starting stacks.
