AcesUp46 0 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 In 1972, the buy-in for the WSOP ME was increased from 5K to 10K. This 10K figure still remains for today. Due to inflation (inflation calculator: http://www.halfhill.com/inflation.html ), 10K in 1972 is equivalent to about 48K today. Just some food for thought. Link to post Share on other sites

Just some food for thought.Another thing to think about it is the first prize. Think of how much the winners in the 70's took home for 1st prize and try to inflat that to the current 7.5 million payday for first place last year. Link to post Share on other sites
