There's more players, more interest, more TV shows and that could only mean one thing. More money. Make that obscene amounts of money.

Fox Sports have done a 3-year deal that would provide winner-takes-all pots of $60 million - rising to $100 million in year 3.

Six of the best players in the world, including Phil Ivey, will face each other at crown Casino in Australia for a chance to win the pot. The tournament is due to take place on July 12.

Lets hope poker retains its popularity - or that could be a hell of an expensive deal
