Re: why WSOP main event only 10K?

As like everything... it has to do with money.
The IRS and the federal government take transaction slips for every cash transaction over $10K in america, whether you are buying a car, making a cash bank deposit, ect. They are called either Race 10K or 10K stipulation forms.
Most poker players... especially people who play poker for a living... don't want the IRS or the feds to find out that someone who hasn't pay taxes for 10 year came up with $25K to enter one poker tournament.

Actully, if this is the same law that causes banks to report high cash deposits, the letter of the law is "10,000 dollers or more"
