WSOP House Fees

[BigPoppa]

It should, but they won't.

Pretty much anything televised usually has money added to the prizepool from TV revenue (not to mention TV money covering expenses).

Televised poker is the only TV event I can think of where the producers take all the TV revenue and then take a slice of the prizepool on top of that. They even subtract dealer gratuities from the prizepool automatically now.

Even though the TV money should go to the players, it won't happen. The people who own the rights to the WSOP will never give up that extra profit.
