Even more odd considering they mention the top prize being $8.5 milllion right on the first paragraph.The final table is set at the World Series of Poker. The nine players who will compete in November for the top prize of more than $8.5 million include a Maryland logger, a New York investment banker, a superstar of pro poker and players from England and France.

After taxes?
I don't suppose there are any folk from the UK in the November 9? We don't pay tax on Poker winnings!

Did you not notice the odd exclusion of 2nd place? Considering someone said they listed 1st place elsewhere in the article, the numbers look correct as 2-9.
Yep, it's updated now to reflect 2-9 instead of 1,3-9.
