Of all the players who walked the halls of the Rio this summer with tournament tickets in hand, only one of them was guaranteed to win — Harrah's.

Harrah’s collected $13,116,845 in juice through all 55 events during the 47-day World Series of Poker this summer. That’s 6.77 percent of the $193,743,093 that passed through the cages and Harrah’s electronic payment system this summer. The total prize pool was $180,676,248.

Not surprisingly, Harrah’s earned the biggest chunk of change from the juice charged for the main event, which attracted 6,844 entrants. Of the $10,000 buy-in, $600 went to the casino, for a total of $4,106,400.

The second-largest event for Harrah’s was event No. 2, a $1,500 no-limit hold'em event that attracted 3,929 entrants. In this and all of the $1,500 events, $135 went to Harrah’s from each buy-in. In that event, Harrah’s collected $530,415.

The largest vig collected for an event was $2,000 for the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship, which attracted 148 entrants, earning Harrah’s $296,000.


Lekker hoor voor ze laten ze volgend jaar maar weer een mooie WSOP organiseren.
