They did the math for a chip count based chop. On top of that, JC wanted the PoY points (RIGGED!) and the bracelet, so he gave Jon $4,000 extra for those.

Does this seem pretty weird to anyone else? I don't agree with 'buying' wins at all, but aside from that, if I had just locked in 186k, 4k isn't enough to stop me having a shot at forever saying I'd won a big tournament & showing friends the bracelet.

Just me?

Re: 5 Star World Poker Classic (Bellagio)
 

so did Jon dump his chips to JC? or did the tournament just end right there and bracelet was awarded to JC? Buying bracelets and POY points makes me lose respect for JC, even though I still think he's sick. I heard a story that Sebok chopped a tourney w/like 3 ppl left, and then ended up winning it. When Barry heard that Joe chopped it, he told him that he didn't really win the tournament and to take the trophey back. Barry is the man.
p.s. I don't chop (unless I get offered 1st place money and the bracelet)

Re: 5 Star World Poker Classic (Bellagio)
 

We made the deal in the back room, they gave me my 190k, we walked outside, the shipped JC my chips and I went to the cage. I have no problem with this at all...and I dont have any friends back home to show a braclet to, so ill just take the extra $4000 and buy something nice.

Re: 5 Star World Poker Classic (Bellagio)
 

Wasn't there an additional 25k to be played for? I mean a seat to the WPT championship is still worth a bit of cash, grats anyway

Re: 5 Star World Poker Classic (Bellagio)
 

We split the $25,000 seat evenly...thats how I gained $4000.

Not sure where you heard this from, but I'm fairly sure Joe doesn't make deals.
