so how can you take down a 3.1 million dollar pot, yet drop from 5th to 6th after the pot???

I really think people are getting mixed up here, some are say he is on 4.6 million and some are then saying he is on 1.15 million????

whats the score?

Not sure Dave, but from my reading of it he went out in 12th and the last 1.15 million referred to is not his chip stack but his Prize $$$$ Kerching!  

Well done!

Ahhhhh now i see, its all card players fault, i read the 1.15 million post then went to card player and saw he was actually on 4.6 (which was probably about 7 hours previous)

i get it.....1.15 million is amazing for 1 event, i know Money maker took 2.5M....but what did Varkonyi take in 2002??? must have been around the 1M mark....and he won the event outright!

great work (i use this word loosely, as youll now never need to work again!)
