Your new WSOP champ is a chump.

They had already taken over $165000 from his share of the prize pool. $165,000 seem plenty to me. How much more do they want?

this wasn't in the prize pool. it was the entry fee. everyone paid it. or did the people that played down to 600 players without cashing not have to pay any, technically, because they didn't redeem part of the prize pool?

I don't buy this logic at all.

And I'd like to see how many man-hours the tourney staff spent working on the main event before I can determine whether or not the payout is even close to fair for working a week of 15 hour days.
