Because math.
By my quick, back-of-the-envelop estimate, he has won over $11 Million at the WSOP from 2006-2019. That's only the traditional WSOP in Vegas BTW, no Euro or circuit events.
Even if you wanted to discount his 3 cashed in the "One Drop" events, he has *only* won about $7.5 Mil
I'm pretty sure you could have bought into EVERY SINGLE EVENT held over those 14 years and not have spent anywhere near that amount.
Taking the last regular WSOP as a guide (2019) and trying to come up with a practical schedule: even if you played 25 events, bought into every single $10K event (14), plus the $25K high roller, plus 10 more $2-5K tourneys, you'd only have spent around $200K in buy-ins. And in 2006, there were half as many events.
