This was a press release they sent out. These people must have gone to the effort of asking them about the vig, because the score plus of the other releases I went though conviently just had buy-in numbers. However, since in every p.r. they sent out on this they failed to disclose the charity/fundraising aspect of the tournament, and in this one they clearly intentionally misreport juice amounts in exactly the same way they did at the day of the tournament. What I really don't understand is that if they have been doing this all the time, how has it not blow up yet?

They specifially state in the press releaase the Championship event is $2500 + $100; How was a player to know that the actual juice and "site fees" totalled over $450 per player. $350 x 235 players is a huge amount of money to be unaccounted for.
