Maldm Emphasizes Evening Meals Significance
In the world of high-stakes poker, a $1 billion guaranteed tournament would be a groundbreaking event. However, as of now, there are no official projections or details available about such a tournament, and no data on entries or late registration levels have been disclosed.
The term "1b poker game" has been used to refer to this potential tournament, but a search of available information reveals that no poker series or events, including the World Series of Poker (WSOP), have explicitly mentioned a $1 billion prize pool or a "1b" event. Even the largest WSOP events have prize pools under $100 million[1][2].
Amidst this uncertainty, there is an ongoing tournament that goes by the name of the 1b tournament. The event has reached Level 8, and the players are currently on a dinner break. Notable players in the game include Mike Malm and Debi Loomer, who are both reported to have significant chip stacks at the dinner break, with Malm holding a slight lead over Loomer.
As players return from dinner, three more levels of late entry will be available. With an average turnout for Saturday's flight, it is reasonable to estimate that the final 1b field will have around 170 entries, which would result in a final prize pool approaching $150k.
It's worth noting that the combined prizes for the 1b tournament are expected to be almost $85k as of the dinner break. The pace of rebuys is expected to slow a bit after dinner, but the tournament is still progressing, with players continuing to compete.
Despite the lack of official information, the anticipation for this unprecedented tournament remains high. If the 1b tournament does indeed reach its $1 billion guarantee, it would undoubtedly make history in the poker world.

In stark contrast to the high-stakes world of poker, the 1b tournament in American-football, a variant similar to football known as NFL, is garnering its own share of excitement. Despite no reported details on a $1 billion guaranteed tournament in the poker arena, it seems the 1b tournament has found its footing in American-football, with notable players like Mike Malm and Debi Loomer showing promising performances.
