I am almost certain most of the top players who beat these games are making millions a year. A good pro can make 100K a year playing 20/40 at the Taj 50 hours a week. The pros at atlantic city make several hundreds of thousands a year playing 75/150 - 100/200, the ones who play the bigger games, some of them make even more. This is first hand info. The big name pros wouldnt bother playing these huge games if they could only make 200K a year, unless they are actually just degenerate gamblers.
