What's $50K in a $1,000,000 Tournament?
Level 3
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
To most people, $50,000 is life-changing money, or at least year-changing money, but not here today. Each of these players forked over $1,000,000 to take part in poker history, and $50,000 seems to pale in comparison.
Interestingly, this is somewhat symbolized over at Table 409 where Gus Hansen has been sitting with a $50,000 brick of cash... which he's simply set on the floor for "safekeeping." We're not sure where it came from our what it's for, but it's certainly the largest amount of money we've ever found laying on the ground.
