| they pay cash if you win?
if you win money in a wpt or wsop tournament
do they pay you in cash or cheque?
i can't see them paying anyone $1 million dollar in cash and walk out the casino--- is that dangerous for the winner?

Direct Deposit into your bank account I assume.
Didn't SirWatts get it done that way? I think it depends on the tournament rules itself. The one that Dave Scharf won a couple of years ago, he took $100G home with him in his suitcase in cash.

When all_aces finished 7th (for 77K)a few years ago in the Limit event I believe he was paid in casino chips.

At wsop you get a choice of cash, cheque, or wire.

At most events, you can choose a combination of casino chips, cash, cheque. wire transfer, etc. For example at one of my cashes, I asked for a receipt of the total amount, some cash, some chips to give as tips and the rest in a cheque. After one of my horses cashed at the WSOP Main Event and I walked him through the *&^%$#@! 30% tax withholding and other procedures, he chose ALL cash. I think he wanted to spread it all on his bed and sleep on it!
You can request casino security to escort you with your winnings. Quote:
