Chris' Hendonmob shows $10.8m in cashes. Again, this doesn't tell the whole story, as he has entered a lot of high rollers, which add up quickly to be a lot of buyins. If he is backed, that also eats into whatever he receives.

How was his WSOP? Probably not winning, but not a disaster. It started off fairly well, as he got 14th in the huge Mystery Millions event ($49k), and 8th in the tough $3k NL 6-handed event ($51k). However, from there he had 5 small cashes totaling $11k or so, and he probably invested a lot of buyins during that period (the Main Event alone was $10k). So with about $110k of cashes, did Chris spend that much in buyins? Hard to tell. I'm guessing he's probably down, because he entered some high rollers at the 2022 WSOP, including the $25k NL event where he scored $1.9m by finishing third. Hard to believe he didn't take another crack at that one, and several others, given 2022's result. He also cashed $266k at the $50k WSOP High Roller in 2021.

These buyins at the WSOP really add up. I played a fairly light schedule, and yet I still racked up $23k worth of buyins, despite only playing a single $10k.

Anyway, as I said before, he would be best off explaining why he needs this $15k despite all the high stakes playing he does. There's no shame in admitting to being backed. Many great players are. People just need to understand what's going on here, because I admit it looks odd without a real explanation.
