At the Webmaster Poker Tourney at Internext, the dealer at my first table was a professional poker player (he was doing the organizer a favor dealing that night). He says he makes tens of millions most years just by playing at the Bellagio at nights (besides the big tourneys he enters). There is a huge amount of "whales" that fly to Vegas and don't mind losing a few hundred grand or more at a sitting just so they can say they tested their mettle against the pros and so they have a good time and a great story to take back to their friends how they played against those guys on TV at the WOrld Series of Poker... Its a big business apparently getting in games at Bellagio with big bankroll suckers.
