I have a question. If you win 1 million in a tourney, have 250k taken out, then go on to lose like 300 or 400k in tourney buyins the rest of the year, do you get refunded some of that money back?

The way I understand this, casinos will report your winnings on a W2-G, like they always have; the difference is that they will be withholding 25% "up front" from your winnings. You are able to deduct gaming losses to the extent of your gaming wins so in your example above, you would get the entire $250K back.
