CrookedLink 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 http://blogs.usatoday.com/gameon/2009/07/n...s-of-poker.htmlPrize money for the final table: 1 -- $5.18 million3-- $3.48 million4 -- $2.50 million5 -- $1.95 million6 -- $1.59 million7 -- $1.41 million8 --- $1.30 million9 -- $1.26 millionSeems odd that they would be this off.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.

noflukeluke 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 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. Link to post Share on other sites
