Harrahs taking the full $10k from freerolled entries to the wsop is pretty much a certainty (I know someone who should know, so I can try and find out for sure). Since a casino can take a fee from a tournament entry, they can undoubtedly take a fee from a tournament entry regardless of the source. And yes, this is side-stepping the 100% return to the players rule regarding jackpot rake. And yes, this is essentially transferring jackpot money to the drop. Dirty and underhanded? Of course. Illegal? Doubtful. I'm quite sure harrahs has high powered lobbyists to ensure such loopholes in gaming law remain open.

I have seen this done quite a bit. I don't really like it i, but I am sure it is legal.

It may be legal, but it certainly destroys any zero sum claims.
