I think you don't really understand what the first prize here really is: it's a FREE ENTRY to the WSOP 
(Plus 2,500 in cash - you could use it for travel and accomodation in Las Vegas during the tournament, for example.)

Yes, that's how it's supposed to be. But because the poker sites cannot buy players into the event, they give you the 10k + 2500 directly. With that 12.5k, I could go to the WSOP, or I can do the responsible thing, and keep it. Now, if I did go play, PStars gives players an additional 1000, or a room at the Palms for a week (as long as you agree to wear their crap).
But regardless of all that, I probably won't win it anyway, so... |

I see, now I understand what you mean by "I don't have the cash" I thought you were afraid you would still have to pay the 10 k yourself, sorry. 
Success! |

| Yeah, I watched a few of these before playing, and most of these guys have no problem getting in with what might or might not be a coin flip. I'm just hoping for a bunch more of those so that I can cash without making any big decisions myself. |
