Well that amount of entries shows the interest in poker.... does someone from another country have to pay any kind of taxes,,,I would think not...

Haha who knows ... I doubt many people were predicting 6800+ after black friday hit. I didn't think it would be that high. I saw a over/under betting line around 5300 prior to the start of this one.

My nephew is playing in the WSOP Main event this year! He made it through Day 2 and lost with trip 9's to trip 10's. I was hoping he could win the 8 million and buy his Aunt a new house! Hehe.
