Largest Field Defeated in a MTT Win?

[Uppercut]

What was the largest field you have conquered to win a MTT? Also, what was the buy-in, and how much did you win? I'll go first:

Field: 45
Buy-in: $11
Winnings: $139.50

Let's see anyone top that! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Everlong]

Party WSOP Freeroll (Step 1)

Field 3500 - Finsh 1:st
Buy-in: $0
Winnings: $0

I topped it - yet I didn't. Tricky huh?


BTW this belongs in MTT community ?

[acesonly532]

party poker satelite had almost 600 people and i won an entry to the old 500 k guarenteed....didnt cash though

[MagCFO]

325 players - $10, absolute WSOP $1,500 Qualifier. Won $812, plus a seat in a $1,500 event.

505 players - $5, UB, ~$800

150 players - $50, Bugsys, ~$2,500

Those are my biggest wins I can come up with.

[illegit]

Party $33 - 1100 players
Party $22 - 1500 players

[mornelth]

Field: ~2,500
Buy-in : $22
Winnings (deal for 1st) : $8,500

Chances are - you're NOT going to get any replies from REAL pros on here. Pros like Raymer, Men the Master etc...

[mlagoo]

my biggest field defeated was in a freeroll /images/graemlins/mad.gif

it was in one of the old party freerolls like a year and a half ago. beat ~2400 people for a grand prize of i think $75. shipit.

[registrar]

Field ~ 300, buy in $25, first for $2600 or something.

I've come second three times for more or less the same cash in a $20r rebuy with a slightly bigger field and made more money for first at a higher buy in in a smaller field.

My biggest ever cash by far was for coming 12th in an 800 rider with a huge overlay and a very flat structure, possibly the most loss-making tourney ever held and sadly unlikely ever to be repeated. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

The best I've done 1000+ runners was 22nd busting out in quite the most embarassing fashion in full view of a respected 2+2er.

[d240t]

Bad news: My largest field wins have been 50 plyr tourneys (Party 5tbl tourneys).

Good news: I've won more of those (and 3tbl tourneys) than I can count.

Levels: $6-$55 buy-in (I don't play $6s anymore, but still play all the others due to frequency and preference for 4 tabling).

But I did get 2nd in a freeroll with ~3k people 1.5yrs ago. I haven't had much success at final tabling large MTTs since...although I don't play them all that much.

[HojoMofo]

FT 20k Guarentee.
1208 entrants.

Hmmmmm...., I wonder what Raymer's biggest MTT victory is. Anyone know? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[nath]

not sure exactly but i think it was an $11r last October on Stars (back when it was the 45k). You know, your usual 1300-1400 runners or some such.

[DragonX]

a .10 turbo tourney, had a little over 2k players i think. scored $40 for it and that made my BR start to evolve

[shaundeeb]

both 11rs 1500 people 1st 13k
day before that 1100 people chooped for 9k HU

[BadgerPro]

Party 5k Freeroll:

2000 entrants
$0 buy-in
1st - $1000

[A_Junglen]

Last August I won the $5 turbo on stars that had 1545 entrants, and $1,700 for first.

[bucktotal]

biggest field win: 1/805

$1 on Stars for a whopping $163 during my pwnage of the recent microlimit challenge.

[tubasteve]

180 people /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[professormike]

Last month, $10 Deep Stacks on Stars with 826 runners 1st good for $1650ish.

[Yuv]

real money - 11r (what used to be 25k guranteed) for whatever amount that was.

I used to dominate the UB freerolls when I first started playing. I spent like 3 months playing those before playing for real money. I think i've won 3 of those for 2500 people each.

[AllinDan]

I've won the stars $50/90 a few times, and the cabin fever freeroll was 300 people (1st and 15th paid the same though)

A few final tables in bigger fields, but few wins so far /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[Body Man D]

Chopped the 3r on stars with @2200 runners for $3,500. Largest outright win's are the 180's on Stars for $1,080.

Party $109 40K G'teed.

650 runners.

1st was $13.5K.

ahhh yes. they traditionally had payouts going to less than 10% of the field. I think they've changed their structures recently to pay to more spots, but I never play there anymore either.

759 on pokerroom about 1.5 years ago - $5.50 buy in, took down $759.

Was called a terrible player/awful etc. in the chatbox by 4 different people. Loved every minute of it. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You MTT forum people are pathetic with your small time winnings. I wouldn't brag if my winnings were as tiny as yours.

I wish I didn't suck so bad at online poker after reading this thread ...

[RichC.]

took town a 180, and pwned a hubbles freeroll once as a propbet between friends, obviously made more money on the prop bet, $1000 i think,and won the tourney too. several FTs that had better cashes than my lone win. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[poopstar212]

ok well if chops count i once chopped a $30 headsup for $3k i dont remember how many people somewhere between 500-700. i also remember a $10 or something where i got knocked out in 7th and those friggin jerks did a 6 way chop after they bad beated me out. who the heck does a 6 way chop in a $10 anyways? what is that like $200 each?

Stars 35K, ~ 1000 runners. Pokerroom 20K (22r), ~ 750 runners.

[sixfour]

Largest field? Some micro donkaments on VC, won a couple of those with about 250 runners. For not much cash, obv

[True North]

Live tournament at the local casino. 55 runners, chopped first for $1900.

[Quanah Parker]

Is there a Guiness record for largest poker tourney?

By number entered, not pot size.

My guess would be 10K person freerolls.

[blockafor]

Stars $11, 1702 entrants, Took $2600 after a 4-way deal ($2200 + $400 left on table)

[stauffer01]

Expekt $3333 guaranteed
$33 buy in 90-100 entrants
1st for just over 1k

[tedtodd]

Beat fields of 650-ish twice on Party. Buyin $10- each prize a little over $1100.

Final tabled bigger events &lt;1000 entrants, but I'm yet to close them out.

[Quanah Parker]

My biggest was maybe a 1st of 700+ in a $5.

My favorite was in a Stars $22 with 180.
A real end-to-end bout.
I knocked out the first and last guy in the tourney, at 180th place and 2nd place, with quite a few others in between.

[Jurollo]

Biggest w/o Chop
55k - 1433 runners

2way Chopped (play for money after chop):
$10 FO - 1119 runners

3way Chopped (played for only tlb)
$10r - 1103 runners

I dont consider the chops to be true wins though, even though I ended up with 1st.

[People_Mover]

5.00 Rebuy on AP, 433 entrants, 800+ rebuys, 400+add ons.

I was in for 20 bucks and took it down for 2K.

3+ rebuys 1921 entrants. Original pay out 4.9k but we did some kind of deal when heads up. It's was like 9am where I live, I hadnt slept in more than 24 hours and didn't feel for a 2k Heads up (original price for 2nd was 2.9k).

Biggest field conquered without a deal is some 10+1 1656 entrants and 3600 in first price.

[JSchnett]

1100

[PBJaxx]

My dad has been playing at least one freeroll a day for the last year. He refuses to listen to any bankroll strategy and has busted his $5-$250 wins many times. Friday night I drunk sweated him in a Party freeroll. 16,500 players...he took fourth. He then proceeded to play the 20K guaranteed on Sat and Sun against my recommendations. He took 43th and then 16th. $0 to over $200 in a matter of days. It will be gone by the end of the week. Either way, I was blown away by the 4/16,500 run...luckbox.

[Assani Fisher]

Won a few of the Party Supers or the nightly Stars $162s at 9:10. Chopped 4 ways in the Sunday $750K guaranteed at Party(back before it was a million guaranteed). If you count that chop as a win, then that was my biggest, but I'm not certain how many entered.

[yellowdoyle]

~1800 for a $3 plus rebuys on Stars. Too bad it was a 20% payout that day. We did end up chopping when 3 players left, and I took first after the money chop was taken care of. Over 7 hours to finish.....

My best is 1000 when Inter Poker had $3000 freerolls every saturday around 3 years ago.

In a regular tourney it is 479 in Stars $50 (with chop hu) and around 400 in Party $100 (no chop).
