Helmuth and Ferguson discuss career profits....

[Python49]

Phil Helmuth: How much have you made in your career Chris Ferguson?
Chris: Uhh lets not talk about that. I'll just say that 2 people tonight are making more than what ive made in my entire career.
Phil: Yeah man i know what you mean... ive banked about 8.5 million over my career and someones making close to that in one night.

Anyone else surprised by this? I thought these two woulda made more than that... are the players in the big games numbers much bigger than this? Id have to assume they are.. i doubt ivey has only made 8.5 million in his career. Todd brunson made almost this amount just off andy beale.
