Jake Balciger Reflects on WSOP 2012: From Cash Games to Big Tournaments
Jake Balciger, who finished third in the 2012 WSOP Main Event, received $3,799,073. However, he only kept 18.2% of his winnings, the rest going to his backers. Balciger had only played cash games before moving to Las Vegas, where he discovered live tournaments.
