Ok I was doin a lil math, and to me it looks as though Harrah's has takin out 9% juice? WTF? That seems a lil excessive IMO.

Additionally, there were less players (2,998) in the inaugural $1,500 event (Event #3) and 1st place in this HUGE field will be receiving a wee bit LESS than event 3? Just what kind of formula are they using?

Also, I think if you survive a field of over 3,000 ppl and happen to end up winning the thing, I think you deserve $1 Million, amirite? Change someone's life Harrah's, stop lining ur pockets! My .02cents.

9% is the standard for the $1,500 events, and it's excessive in everyone's opinion that isn't a Harrah's employee.
