so exactly how much cash was on the table?

[csuf_gambler]

anyone know for sure how much?

[DiabloVt7]

$7.5million

[brandon]

arent those stacks of $1 bills with $100 bills on the outside?

[EricOF]

To be precise, I do believe it's a metric fuckton.

Looks like about 1st & 2nd place money put together to my eyes (all $100 bills, not padded $1 bills as suggested earlier).

All I've ever asked for is more money than I can lift personally in $100 bills - that said I'm going to work out at the gym.

Agreed. $10,000 in a band, $50,000 in a bundle, 150 bundles for $7,500,000 or 235 bundles for $11,750,000. Looks more like 235 than 150 to me.

thats what we all thought last year until someone zoomed in on a pic and it showed $1 bills under the top $100 bills.

You watched last years telecast right?

They actually had a couple quick scenes from the cage where they where counting, bundling and boxing the cash ...

real cash.

Why is it so hard for people to believe this is cash? It's not like someones going to run in their and do a beer-run on a bundle...there are a 'few' people standing around (and 2 have shotguns).

There are thousands and thousands of dollars on tables throughout the casino...with many many less people standing around...if someone wanted to make a grab, I really doubt they'd head for the TV cameras.

How do you take that home? Do you load it up in your trunk and that's it?

[Shoe]

Do you think the shotguns are loaded?

Also, as with every other major poker tournament, it is $100 bills on the outside, and $1 bills in the inside. I'd post the pic from last year's WSOP but I can't find it.

Of course the part they film for TV is going to make it look like they are using all $100 bills. However, they put $1 on the inside as that gives the same exact effect (apperance wise), and reduces their risk incase anything ever would go haywire.
