WSOP Main Event Day 3 Thread
 

~1150 trying to get into the final 873 money spots today.
Starting with 1 hour left in level 11 (600/1200/200), should get interesting to see when they start the round for round nonsense. Good luck to those 2p2'ers still in it.

Round for round seriously is nonsense... Whoever thought of it, should be educated on how much of an idiot they are. Seriously.

GL everyone. Time for the tournament to really start.

what is round for round?

Table 137, Seat 2. 55.2k.

GL Jason (THEOSU), Eric (Rizen), Andrew (Foucault), Jason (Strassa), and all other 2p2ers playing today.

In principle this is a pretty good fix for the whole delaying tactic once it gets close to the bubble. I find that infuriating, since invariably everyone is delaying, so there is little benefit.

Each table plays 1 orbit. Say if 880 are left, and 20 get eliminated, those 20 will get paid for a lower amount than the ~14k for the first level of those making the money.

I'm thinking there might not be a round for round. There's an advertisement for a freeroll SnG to next year's main event for the last 9 players out of the money.

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 3 Thread
 

if 874 are left, instead of playing hand-for-hand every table plays 1 full round of hands.

What I'm not clear on is how they distribute money if 10 people get knocked out during the round. Does the player who started the round with the fewest chips get nothing, or do they all tie for 865th-874th and split 9 cashouts 10 ways?

I suspect it's the latter.

Also, do they do this at every payout level?

It's the latter, and no it's not round for round at every payout level.
