I hate to say this as a human, but I think the stress is going to be too much for Kramnik. $600,000 for losing, $800,000 for drawing, $1,000,000 for winning. Kasparov was more experienced than Kramnik in these kind of must-win situations (remember the Seville match versus Karpov) and even he couldn't handle the pressure in the same situation. It comes from playing an opponent which doesn't feel stressed at all.
