Ok I was doin a lil math, and to me it looks as though Harrah's has takin out 9% juice? WTF? That seems a lil excessive IMO.

Additionally, there were less players (2,998) in the inaugural $1,500 event (Event #3) and 1st place in this HUGE field will be receiving a wee bit LESS than event 3? Just what kind of formula are they using?

Also, I think if you survive a field of over 3,000 ppl and happen to end up winning the thing, I think you deserve $1 Million, amirite? Change someone's life Harrah's, stop lining ur pockets! My .02cents.

9% is the standard for the $1,500 events, and it's excessive in everyone's opinion that isn't a Harrah's employee.

[Ditch Digger]

Ugh, busted QQ vs K9 aipf for about 50k after the bubble burst. Then it took over an hour to get my damn 3k. I f'in hate Harrahs.

[shaundeeb]

i got over 122k I missed first 2 hours then turned my 3k on an alternate table to 30k in an hour to be an early tourney CL with 1/3rd the time to play.

I think you should thank Ray for getting you started as I'm sure it was easy to dominate the table after that /images/graemlins/wink.gif

P.S. Why can't I flip as well as you so I can get 10k that early?

[Clayton]

tdomeski also has over 95k. kid runs good in 1.5k events.

[FieryJustice]

I have 65k. I decided to spite call a guy on the bubble with 94o for a 40,000 chip pot and lost. /images/graemlins/frown.gif Hopefully someone here can make something happen.

[Exitonly]

Shaun just busted in 27th.. to bust in 27th place for the 3rd time in his WSOP events (i think). So sick. You're just warming up for the main event obv.

[Ontario_Tory]

Shaun - your 27th place finishes are becoming more & more profitable...

Keep in mind that last year's ME 27th place finisher took home $494,797

Congrats on the cash...

[Zima421]

[Exitonly]

Taylor Douglas Eliminates Steve Moore
Douglas' pocket nines out-raced Moore's A-K and sent Moore out in 25th place.

[Clayton]

taylor completely sh*t on the entire field from 27 on in and won every single preflop confrontation

before the color up he had ten seperate 40-stacks of 5k chips, and an additional eight forty-stacks of 1k yellows. it was A GODDAM FORTRESS.

sweat thread time.
