Re: Your new WSOP champ is a chump.

each down dealt is a share of that 2% rake. one dealer figured the most any one dealer made was 12k. this is not an average but an estimate of the amount the dealer with the most downs received.

I really hate in life when they automatically charge you for the tip, but then they "expect" you to leave an extra tip on top of the tip. I hate this not just in poker tournaments, but in everything.
I don't get how taking $1.1M out of the prize pool isn't enough to compensate the dealers. The most any dealer got was 12k? I know the WSOP only comes around once a year, but still, it seems like 12k is pretty decent for a week's work.
How much does one have to tip, on top of the $1.1M, to not be a "chump"? How much are the rest of the final table finishers "expected" to tip, given that it's a pretty flat pay schedule? If it's really being split among 200 different dealers or whatever, you're going to have to tip an awful lot to make a difference in everyone's bottom line.
