Apparently this kind of deal is the norm....the backer gets his $10,000 first...so if the guy cashes for $150,000 the backer would get his ten and they'd split the 140,000 that remains. But also the normal deal would see that buy in stay on the books until the guy finally cashes. And anyone who finishes 7th in PLO at last years WSOP ain't no slouch.
