Notice how there is never any repeat winners? (Well, except maybe Chan and one other.) Try sitting down at a table in vegas and play tight. Watch as everyone leaves. They just can't make enough money, you just lose it all to the rake.

You're mixing your analysis of tournament and cash games. There is no rake in a tournament, at least not in the same fashion. Also, I'm not aware of a tournament that allows rebuys or top-ups that give a stack larger than the initial stack. I don't really play tournaments, though. Cash games only. I play often enough. If the table is too tight, I go loose and take all the blinds. Sure, beating the rake can be tough, but it's not impossible.

The WSOP main event does not allow rebuys.
