The pro team had at least 7 seats by my estimation and had gotten the NRF around 10PM that evening. Not bad for 5 hours work.
7 professional video poker guys pounding out 5 hours of video poker. How many hands at $5.00 dollars a hand could 7 pros knock out per hour? How much did they put in? What was actually profit after they finally hit? What did each player make after the chop? What was the tax liability?

This is what I mean. Without the actual facts, it sounds like a 2-bit win if any.
I agree with Blackhole here. Even with the $8000+ royal, they still could've easily lost in that 5 hours.

I think we forgot about the phantom bucks created by the math. I'm sure that should be explained soon.
