While all that is going on, Jeff "Happy" Shulman slips in a raise to 1.25 million from middle position. Everyone folds.
He's been easily the most active player so far, and his stack has benefitted to the tune of 40,630,000 chips.
Out of all the individual sporting events, the champion of the 2009 WSOP Main Event will win the most. Here's how some of the top individual sporting events' first-place prize break down:
Indianapolis 500: $3,048,005
Daytona 500: $1,530,390
U.S. Open (Tennis): $1,600,000
U.S. Open (Golf): $1,350,000
That's right, the WSOP champion will be taking nearly three times the amount of Helio Castroneves who won the Indianapolis 500. In fact, the winner here will take home more than all four of those winners took home combined! And who says poker's not big time?
