Re: WSOP numbers off by $420,000

Given your paranoia and lack of understanding of how the WSOP pays out, I figure you would be more concerned about the missing $3,371,390.
There are 5,619 players paying a $10,000 entry fee. That's $56,190,000. Yet, they're only paying out $52,818,610.
It looks like Harrah's is pocketing $3,371,390.

From the WSOP website:
"4% of the total entry pool will be withheld for the house. 2% of the total entry pool will be withheld for tournament staff"
That was some difficult 10-second research.
