The top dog is Chuck….. 17,500
http://www.partypoker.com/news/events/pp_wtleaders.html

So he has made 1,750,000 in wagers for an expected loss of around $17,500 based off of a 99% return

whats the house edge in blackjack, like .5%?

so wagering 450,000$ would mean that your ev is -$2,250. the prize package claims to be worth $5800 so right now playing blackjack is +ev. 10 days left im sure 21st place will be surprassed but it would have to reach over a million to be -ev.
