What is Classic Scratchcards?

The latest Super MILLION$ final table promises some terrific action, featuring as it does some of the best poker players on the planet.

The Belarussian only has 1.4 million but will be doing everything he can to get over the line. The final table betting prices are slightly different to the order in which the players find themselves in the chipcounts:
