Money Money Money
Mike Sexton was chatting with World Series Media Director Nolan Dalla and said that he thinks this might be the first final table in history where four players have won a million dollars in a single poker tournament. He won a million in the 2006 Tournament of Champions, Kathy Liebert won the Party Poker Million in 2002, Nenad Medic won the WPT World Poker Finals in 2006 and Andy Bloch won over a million when he finished second in the 2006 $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. event.
“Think about that,” Sexton said, “four players winning a million in a single tournament, and today first prize is $800,000.”
Dalla pointed at the pile of cash just a few feet away and said, “So this is no big deal…” and Sexton laughed and said, “Now, I didn’t say that!”
