Your new WSOP champ is a chump.

im sure that the 2% withheld also goes to the floormen and the Tournament Director. and from numerous reports ive heard, the tournaments were run ok but not great so why would an extra tip be necessary if they were just doing standard work?

and yes since the tip is already accounted for then i would much rather give some money to charity then to some ungrateful shmucks who will complain no matter what amount i give them.

and why hasnt anyone mentioned the other 8 millionaires in this thread? why arent you lashing out at them? last time i checked, Steve "Donkeyman" Dannenman, who won $4.25 million (almost the same as last year's champion) has tipped squat.

one last thing, Ted Lawson won a pot limit omaha event last year. he immediately went to his pocket and gave the dealer a $100. seemed like a pretty generous gesture considering thats the first thing he did when he won. would you consider this cheap? i have never seen anyone do this so blatantly before, ever.
