$1015 + $50 (stakeback)
300K is 30x 10K, so $1500 is 30x $50
So, $1500 is the pre-cut value of 2 shares.
$1450 is the profit.
$1450 x .7 = $1015 + $50=
$1065

One thing you should consider that I didn't think about earlier is taxes. When I played teh PCA, there were no taxes taken out of anybody's winnings.
But, if you cash big in the WSOP, you will be given a 1099 and winnings will likely be withheld.
The standard in all of my WSOP staking deals is to take 25% profit off the top for taxes, as you'll have to pay taxes on what you cash regardless of being staked.
However, if you fill out a W2G (I think that's the form, but might be wrong), you can declare group winnings (kinda like winning the lottery when a group of people put money in w/ the intention of chopping the winnings). To do that, you could give people money back pre-tax (which people would prefer), but you would need their SSN's and a gambling accountant (which I probably could set you up with). I had a piece of somebody's WSOP last year, and they took 4th in an event, and he did the pre-tax thing.

also, I will likely take a piece, but need to wait until closer to the time to know how much. A lot will depend on how I and my investments do at the WSOP.
