so would Ken and Bruce feel better if Ed got up big and just sat there post blind and fold or get the seat filled by somebody who's gonna play.

Did this guy who made the WSOP final table play a single hand?

I have also heard that the house juice taken out of entry fees does not all go to the dealers, because, as you mentioned, floor people and managers get a huge chunk of it. One dealer at Borgata told me this years tip of $30k made theri overall earnings $50 per hour as compared to Negreanu's tip of 60k which made the earnings $100 per hour (seems kinda high)
But I can see how a tip can really affect the hourly. I wouldn't complain about $50 per hour though

Memorable Quote from Reservoir Dogs

Nice Guy Eddie: C'mon, throw in a buck!
Mr. Pink: Uh-uh, I don't tip.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't tip?
Mr. Pink: Nah, I don't believe in it.
Nice Guy Eddie: You don't believe in tipping?
Mr. Blue: You know what these chicks make? They make [censored].
Mr. Pink: Don't give me that. She don't make enough money that she can quit.
Nice Guy Eddie: I don't even know a [censored] Jew who'd have the balls to say that. Let me get this straight: you don't ever tip?
Mr. Pink: I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

To combine posts:

The Pokerblue girls have been off the show for at least 3 weeks.

I think the tournament staff gets 40% of the 3% for the dealers.

If the ME reaches their 8000 person cap, Harrah's will take 4.8m out of the prize pool, half of that goes to the dealers/tournament staff.

In the first WSOP tournament, (for casino staff) they're taking 10% of the $500 buyin which is pretty obscene, since it should be a juice free event.

I've always wondered how they reconcile the "regular" dealers vs the part timers in for the early stages of the tourney. Do the part timers get the same hourly and piece of the overall tip pie??

When this was discussed repeatedly after the ME, I think the deal was that there was a set amount per down, and the more downs you dealt, the more you earned.
