She was sooooo not serious. They get paid $50k just for being on the show in the first place. The 120K purse is pocket change for her. She's won pots at least half that size in cash games. Plus everything she makes with endorsements and everything else. These famous players are throwing around some serious scratch.

One of the players referenced it in about the second or third week, I think it was helmuth. It was kind of in the background and you had to be paying attention to catch it. Someone said something about the buy 20K buy in and helmuth mentioned something about everyone getting a 50K appearance fee. I suppose he could have been screwing around but I didn't get that impression when i heard it and it seems about right.

Why can't this be correct? Why else would these busy players take time out for a winner take all tourney with a relatively small purse? They absolutely have to be getting some guaranteed money. And it seems like a reasonable amount to pay for a late night show on a major network, the players are the shows talent and writers.

Really? what exactly did he say? I want a quote. In fact, I want audio.

I don't know for a fact if or how much they get paid to play on the show. Helmuth threw out the 50K figure and as I recall it was in reference not just to him but to others at the table. That sounds reasonable to me. I don't know if it's factual, but i'm going to go with it.

It would be interesting to know the net worth of the avg 'big game' player.

I remember Jen saying that she was the poorest 'big game' player, but I doubt she's in the poor house.

I bet these guys pay for their home's and cars with cash. I remember Mike Matusow saying that he paid for his house in Henderson and bimmer with 700k that he won online...
