Slight sidetrack:

In 2005 I believe there were less than 6,000 players. All 9 players at the final table won at least $1 million. In 2007 there are over 6,000 and the million doesn't start until the top 5.

Is this correct, and if so, why?

theres a thread on this somewhere

basically, they redid the payout structure to pay out more to the bottom of cashing players... better for the greater good, but a few less millionares

[Riverman]

for some reason I hate Kalmar

[Mantis Ant]

I'd totally fold up the money too.

[SuperUberBob]

Was Rahme seriously considering folding if Kalmar had him covered?

[Hollywade]

Nothing out of line there. Come on Raymond...do something stupid!

Creepy that Rahme wants to kiss the picture of Yang's kids

[JackWhite]

Rahme wanted to kiss the picture of Yang's kids? Yang looked at him like he was a child molester.

Rahme... please oh please don't piss all those pretty chips away...

I'm Chris Hanson... take a seat, Mr. Rahme, take a seat
