Recent software improvements to the Betfair Poker site have struck a chord with high-stakes regulars who have been risking hundreds of thousands at the tables.

Today’s marathon $250/$500 no limit hold’em ring game started shortly after midnight (GMT). The game ended with $600,000 at the table at ten o’clock this morning.

A stalemate between the final two players – “operation” at $150,000 and “SuckMyD” at $450,000 – led to a final “gg” and “gn” (good game and good night) as the players decided to take some well earned rest. “Jandrew” and “sinceroo” left the game earlier this morning.
