ger2000 		The +2 is the tournament fee and that's how the online site makes their money for tournaments. $20 goes into the prizepool, $2 goes to them.

montie 		The total entry fee is $22. $20 goes to the prize pool and $2 is the "juice" that goes to the casino. That's how they make money.

Davidov 		The other responders basically nailed it. The reason tournaments post the fees this way is so entrants know how much of their entry fee is going into the prize pool and how much to the organizers.
