Dumb question about "The Big Game"
I've been watching the PokerStars.Net "The Big Game" and this is really bothering me -- when they go over the rules, they say: "blinds are $200 and $400 with a $100 ante all of which is paid by the player on the button." What does that mean? The player with the button pays both blinds and all of the ante's? ... I don't comprehend. Doesn't change my enjoyment of the show, just bothers me that I don't understand what that rule means.

Re: Dumb question about "The Big Game"
I'll have to check it out but sometimes you get games where rather than everyone paying an ante, one player pays a single ante which rotates each hand. To keep it simple and so no-one loses track, this is usually the player on the button.
I've never heard of it in holdem games but I have in stud games and we did it during a HORSE game I played at the Mirage last year.
