After public comments from respected players @dklappin and @steveodwyer regarding dealers and fees, I investigated all claims and implications myself. As a representative of @WSOP and player myself, I take funds transparency and taking care of players seriously. I'll address everything below. 1. I'll break down the money flow in our opening event for clarification. For the €1,100 Mystery Bounty. €500 goes to the prize pool, €500 goes to the bounty prize pool, and €100 goes to the venue. The main discussion pertained to the 4% staff fee. This comes directly from the total prize pool. Hence, €40 from each buy-in covers this staff fee. The organization pays everyone involved in putting on our events. Dealers, floors, cashiers, etc. 2. Dealers have not been paid less than was agreed to. They were offered a generous, fixed, hourly rate per their original contract. They have been paid, and will continue to be paid, exactly that amount. We believe the dealer take-home pay compares favorably to other festivals. 3. Local laws require any money removed from the player prize pool be taxed at a rate of 30%. So both the €100 rake and the €40 staff fee are taxed. WSOP/King's pay these taxes. The dealers receive their full hourly rate with no taxes removed. I'm genuinely interested in making sure we do everything in the best way possible. If David, Steve, or anyone else with valid criticisms would like to have a good-faith roundtable on possible improvements, I'm open. Always happy to work together to ensure transparency, openness, and staff protection.

I was exhausted after 4 straight top 3 finishes and couldn't wake up in time for the $3500 @WPT main @TVPokerRoom. I didn't think it was fair to investors to max late reg a $3500 main. Today is the Jacked Stack no limit aka "Monster stack" It started at 4pm so I hopped in.
