I contacted an escrow and his response was not encouraging as well as the lack of responses here is not encouraging. So I'll probably end up funding this myself and just not offering this sort of profitable investment here again.

edit
I decided not to waste my time or profit by doing this. The response from the escrow and the lack of responses here have frustrated me, to say the least, and I will never offer this community anything like this again. The overall response was almost identical to the sort of response I got when I talked to people about cryptocurrencies in 2014-2015. The only person to even respond to the thread had never even heard of poker staking. The escrow was worried about it hurting his rep and didn't seem to understand the basis of how this would work. So this whole thing was a complete and utter waste of my time. I will make sure not to do this again. This is literally a loss to the community. You guys can stick to buying your obvious scam ico tokens while a legitmate and profitable investment vanishes like a fart in the wind.

update
3 tournaments in and I over doubled the starting bankroll.
