The buy-in has always been 10k - so shouldn't it be adjusted due to INFLATION? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That's my biggest problem with the WSOP buy in. It hasn't changed since it's inception. $10K was a helluva lot of money back when the thing started in 1970.

That's why it attracted only the best of the best because only those with the skils to have enough confidence in putting up $10K or have backers that would do so for them would play.

$10K isn't exactly cheap nowadays, but it's by no means a ton of money or has the same value it did in 1970 or even 1990.
