Ugh, that was painful to watch. I don't think I've ever seen the short stack be the one to give up money in a deal.

There was a sick 3 way deal on the stars sunday a couple months ago that actaully gave the big stack a chance to win more than first place money.

Heads up, it gives their true equity (provided comparable skill). Multiway, Stars' system hurts the little stacks.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. OK this one isn't quite as bad as that, but still is pretty bad.
