Table 2 has $39,975,000 in play
Table 3 has $19,056,000 (Khan has almost 40% of chips at this table)
Table 4 has $31,000,000
Table 5 has $31,700,000
Is that an advantage in the short term for Khan but possibly a disadvantage long term or does it really matter?

its a huge advantage for khan, everyone at that table is a relative weak spot who has zero concepts of things like squeezing or restealing or general hand reading. khan basically got the most ridiculous table draw ever.

Something I have been wondering, how come there are more chips in play than the total price pool ? Thought each guy started with 10000 in chips ?

how much sleep are these guys going to get? they finished at like 1AM local time or thereabouts right? Guess it doesn't matter much since they probably are too nervous to sleep.

Just thinking, what we need is an online player to win who will endlessly go on about how good online poker is in USA, even post gaming bill
It seems there are a lot of people scared to put money online to play poker- if the WSOP winner was an online american player it could bring back some of the poker boom donaters to the online games

Pretty sure you can't pay Harrahs with tournament chips.
