well seeing the paytable once again I can only say that it pays to play for the 1st place, better take more risks and be more aggressive but try to collect more money, than settle for top 9 finish and get 1/10th of the amount of 1st place for the 9th place finish

For that buy in, you have to chase top places indeed. But even finishing in the money, is giving you more than twice your buy in, which is a very high one. When you are in this final table, you need to decide. Going place by place, or playing it all for the first one.

These tournaments are very hard to win. It is not easy to get to the final table of a total of 105 professionals players. If you are not a very good player, it's not worth paying that much entry in this game. If you are a multi millionaire yes but like a average player not. Only when i think what value is 100 k dollars for most people on this earth i can say that: I can have a lot of fun with this amount of money or i can invest it in a business.

Just reading the words '$100,000 buy-in' sends shivers down my back. I cannot imagine what it would be like to shell out this kind of money just to have a game of cards!!!

You need to have lots of money, being comfortable to buy for this amount. I wouldnt feel right, even if someone else was paying that, not to mention that probably i would never accept playing, even if someone else was buying.

what to say about this big buy in,that all of you didnt say it!its sick amount and dont know what to think about it!you must be in very good position not to win anything on this tournament and then not to regret about 100K!congratulation on great first prize,on 2,9 million $!
Those big buy in are so tough and very stressful when close to the bubble time even if you are millionaires, congrats Nick your WSOP is now a success and anything u will win as from now in other events would just be bonuses.
