The PokerStars Asian Pacific Poker Tour (APPT) event, the Nanjing Millions held at Jiangsu Wutaishan Sports Center, has been raided and shut down by the Chinese National Police, according to Macau-based World Gaming Magazine.

"We can confirm that the Chinese National Police stopped a poker event in Nanjing," a representative of the Nanjing police commented. "At the moment, we cannot release any information about the police operation, but we would like to remind that any gambling activities are illegal in Mainland China."

World Gaming Magazine follow with details:
"We're hearing that the office of the tournament organizers has been seized and surrounded by police.
Due to the APPT Nanjing Millions tournament being suspected of illegal gambling, the police have started an official investigation and have decided to stop the event," stated a note that the authorities placed at the entrance of the Jiangsu Wutaishan Sports Centre. "All the people who took part to the event are now asked to register with the authorities and and cooperate in the investigation."


Amaya's Head of Corporate Communications, Eric Hollreiser, released a following statement "After three very successful days of tournament poker, the organizers of the Nanjing Millions decided to postpone the event in order to address questions from local authorities. We are in contact with Star Poker Club and are seeking additional details. The organizers have issued a statement apologizing for the inconvenience and plan to resume the tournament in the near future."

Interesting.

Got more information from a Chinese poker site - apparently the tournament has unlimited re-buys. And people would just keep rebuying until they got into Day 2.

Putting some quotes for my translation about the tournament here:

 
???????????????????3000????????????12000????????????????????????????????????????????????“????rebuy”??????????3000????????????????????????????????????800???”

According to the rules, buy-in is 3000 RMB (about $500 USD) for 12,000 chips, which means that there is 2 million RMB for the single buy-ins for all the players. More importantly the tournaments allows unlimited re-buys, which is that you can re-buy infinitely with 3000 RMB. It is reported that the price pool for the tournament is almost at 8 million RMB.



The source I am quoting from is here: http://www.dzpk.com/news/celebrity//2015-0420-21885.html

Let me know if you guys want more info about this.

It seems to be not very profitable in the long run to play those kind of hands. - Gus Hansen
