How Much Did it Really Cost?

We've heard some speculation about how many rebuys some of the players made during the rebuy period two days ago. Yesterday we learned that Sam Simon, producer of the ever-popular television series "The Simpsons," managed to take 41st place without having to purchase a single rebuy.

Today we've learned that one player, Suk Sung, purchased 23 rebuys. Suk Sung didn't managed to make it to the money, but if he had, he would have needed to take 9th place or higher just to make back what was spent.

We're not sure how much these remaining six players spent during the rebuy period to get to this final table, but rest assured, however much it was, they've made it back. Plus some.
