First of all, there are satellites online, where you enter for 10, 20, 50, 100 dollasr whatever, and if you win you get the 10k for the entry fee. For a mid stakes online pro like Kiwikaki who's playing like 2/4 or 3/6 then 10k isn't as big as it sounds. | ||

It is not that hard to save up $10,000 in a year if you work full-time and live in a one-room apartment on your own. Most people in the WSOP are professional poker players and/or celebrities/other random rich people who just do it for fun. But as a regular mortal, $10,000 is not that an unreasonable amount of money to save up. | ||

There used to be promotional tournaments online where they would give away seats and there was a bunch of different ways you could get in but of course it is not possible for US players anymore since Online poker got shut down for us =( | ||

Once again, Kiwikaki was a mid stakes grinder for a few years, he's stated in interviews before that money isn't a big worry of his so 10k to spend a weekend in vegas isn't the biggest deal. His 10k comes from Poker, not from Starcraft 2. Also, that was an awful call by deknijff with A4o against even a guy wtih just 16 bb left. | ||

List of people who finished in the money but are now out. Kiwi's name isn't on there, so he either busted before the bubble or is still in it. | ||
