@DanDruff, I wasn't being sarcastic. I said "wow" because I had no other words.
You're telling me his max bet was 3 hands of $25K and he won $15 Million because he got on a lucky streak? Even if he was playing $75K on one hand (instead of spread out on 3 hands, it'd be easier to do this with 1 big hand instead of 3 little hands) -- that would be a whopping 200 unit win. That's pretty big. In comparison, that's like a $5 player (flat betting $5 per hand, 1 hand per round) and winning $1,000.
Sure, that's very possible n all. [When I say "very possible n all", I mean it IS possible, just like how hitting a royal flush back-to-back is possible.] I'm just going to throw this out there: I'm very suspicious that he went on some massive winning streak. I am more likely to believe that he actually had an edge and grinded it out.
"Massive variance" is not a reason why he didn't have an edge (that's what you're arguing, right?). All "massive variance" means is he has the balls and money to put down the cash to play the game.
