A WSOP Bracelet is hardly the same as money, how can you put the two in the same context. A WSOP bracelet should be priceless to anyone that wins them. It's a sad state of affairs to have to sell your own WSOP bracelet to fund your gambling addiction.
Bracelet or the prize money? Which one would you prefer? I know which would mean more to me, and I know which would mean more to TJ now...
Personal preference, the money would be nice if it was a life changing sum but come on $2500 for a WSOP bracelet! To me a WSOP bracelet would mean more, you have it forever and its a symbol of achievement in poker of the highest order. My goal is to win at least one in my lifetime whether I do or not is another matter, but if I came 2nd in a WSOP event for say $300k the money comes and goes sure you could buy a nice house, But if I came 1st the bracelet would stay.. along with the glory of victory in something I love. It would be a nice story to tell the Grandchildren about one day.
