Depends on the agent they get.  If they get Jerry Yang's agent, then
winning 1st place will mean little.  If they get an agent with 3 or more
brain cells, then winning will be worth a MINIMUM of $5M extra, and very
possibly up to $25M over several years (it would help them to continue to
play well, a la Raymer/Hachem).
