If he's in, he is most definitely being backed. Considering that he'll have (temporarily) handed over 30% of that win to the IRS, that only leaves him with ~5.3M - just a little shy of the 10M he requires. That and I really don't think he'd just turn around and put up all the money he just won.
A little OT: I know I've spoken with Nikita about the "big dream" - winning the WSOP. At 7.5, I would take all but 1M and invest it. The remaining million would be my bankroll. If at any point, it ever depleted to zero, I'd be out - done with the poker world. That 6.5 (and the interest it is collecting) would be MORE than enough to retire on and live VERY comfortably for the rest of my life.
