It's practically an $11K prize down the shitter

So the concept of EV means nothing to you?

Or maybe you are considering EV and admitting to us that it would be -10k for you in the WSOP?

I thought for sure this story was going to be about someone locating a sucker (aka "goof") who would back him.

He got 10K and $1000 for expenses/whatever the site he won at offers.

I understood what the prize was. However, as others have expressed, I would much rather take the cash if I wasn't already planning on playing in the ME.

How did a $10 tournament with only 180 people give out an $11,000 package? Everybody would have to rebuy like 6 times.

The tournament, which begins Thursday, will involve more than 6,600 players who either qualified by winning a satellite tournament or paid the $10,000 entry fee.

the reporter clearly did his homework, except it is caped at 6600

Apparently none of you are 65 years old. If you're 22 and you play poker professionally, $11K and a WSOP entry are the same. If you're 65 and play poker recreationally, they're a lot different. This guy would never go to the WSOP on his own.

I hope he doesn't think he won $11K and a WSOP seat.
