[/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] They wanted to keep the buy-in low and increase the field, but give the pros an edge because they could afford a bigger risk compared to the 2-7 specialists you find online. if i knew Daniel I would have told him something not so nice, but it was pointless at the time - its obvious his intentions were to make a good situation for himself, not the field or the WSOP itself [/ QUOTE ] I assume the poster thought your comment meant that Daniel had created an event to get himself a bracelet. |

[/ QUOTE ] LOL, i forgot about that. And yes, thats what i believe he was thinking in a roudabout way. Update - Brad L is busto, 3 hands in a row he drew 1 card to a 7 and paired. |

I just meant that I thought DN said this was one of his best games. With the smaller field I just thought it gave him a better chance at it.
But I don't get the feeling Admo sweats too much of anything. |

[/ QUOTE ] I can assure you that was not how I perceived it, I am leaving out details because I'm not trying to make this into a bash Daniel post, but the important thing is he insinuated that the structure was designed this way to give himself an edge. |

1) The payout structure sucks! Most players have spent in the 6k to 8k range in this field, but payouts start at 5,414 - below what the average total buyin for the finalists will be! Average rebuys should be considered in this calculation, I'd rather see WSOP management drop off 21-24th place and increase the prize pool across the board proportionally. [/ QUOTE ] There were 209 entries and a prize pool $721,804, which is an average buy-in of $3,453.60, plus whatever went into the rake. The min pay-out is thus about 1.5x the buy-in, which seems pretty standard. |
