-2000ppl

and i think last year when everyone at FT makes a million, it was intentionally made that way so ESPN could say that they gave everyone at FT a million... but then after it got to the FT the payouts increased very flat

was something like 600k for 10th, 1M for 9th, 1.1M for 8th, 1.2M for 7th, etc... didn't make sense but ESPN just wanted to say everyone at FT was a millionaire

Featured Table: Scotty Nguyen Takes an 8.1 Million Pot From Tuan Lam

Lee Childs has the button in seat 9, Tuan Lam raises from the small blind to 500,000, and Scotty Nguyen calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Lam checks, Nguyen bets 500,000, Lam raises to 1.5 million, and Nguyen quickly calls. There is now 4.1 million in the pot.

The turn card pairs the board with the {J-Hearts}, Lam bets 2 million, and Nguyen thinks for more than a minute before he calls. There is 8.1 million in the pot.

The river card is the {6-Diamonds}, and the crowd reacts to the third diamond hitting the board. Lam checks, Nguyen bets 2 million, and Lam thinks for about a minute before he folds, leaving himself with about 13.8 million. The crowd explodes into applause as Scotty Nguyen wins the pot. Nguyen stands up and receives a congratulatory slap on the back from Raymond Rahme as he collects the pot.

go scotty go

13 ppl last yr = millionaires

You call and it's all over baby! That'll make for an awesome TV fo sho! Khan vs Scotty final HU yo!!

top 13 got 1m+

im almost positive (not 100%) that it was final 12 not final 13 that got 1 Mill+ last year.

in '05 it was weird. 10th got something like 700k (im not really sure) then 9th-7th each got 1 mil. it was stupid.

yea...my number for 10th is prob wrong (i dont remember random shit like that) but u get the idea.

2006 payouts

1 - $12,000,000
2 - $6,102,499
3 - $4,123,310
4 - $3,628,513
5 - $3,216,182
6 - $2,803,851

Khan is also a cardplayer member so I think they might get more traffic than LP unless he mentions LP in an interview or something
