Re: Who came second in the 1971 WSOP?
[ QUOTE ]
I've noticed that in the early years of the WSOP, there was no rake. In 1979 for instance there were 54 players with a total prize pool of $540,000, which was split among the top 5 finishers. What's up with that, and when did this change? [/ QUOTE ] that's because it was held for publicity. Benny actually paid half of the 10k for the players (ten or so) in the mid-70s. |

That site is kind of interesting... i don't know too much WSOP history. I knew that Sexton had one bracelet (I think 7-card stud in 1989 or something) but I had no idea he had that many high finishes in the main-event. Actually have more respect for the guy after seeing this: 24th in 91 23rd in 92 24th in 93 23rd in 95 12th in 00 29th in 01 Also i didn't know: David Sklansky, 42nd in 2002 27th in 1988 [/ QUOTE ] FWIW, Mike Sexton is quite a tournament player, and has 37 cashes at the WSOP - that's more than some very well respected players like: Ulliott, Daugherty, Reese, Negreanu, Deeb, Tomko, Lederer and the list goes on - including Brunson, because there are only 9 players with more cashes in the history of the WSOP.
