Re: Harry Demetrieu Escorted Out of tournament??
From rzitup's write-up:
[ QUOTE ]
What if only 200 players had signed up for this tournament? Do you think they would have paid 50% of the field? Of course not. The reference to 100 players was inserted assuming that the tournament would sell out. By sticking to the number 100, they ended up paying 16.7% of the field. All WSOP tournaments are paying approximately 10% of the field. Why the discrepancy?

Quoting for truth, because this came to me as well, and no one's brought it up.
Harrah's screwed up in writing out the rules for the tournament - they should've put a disclaimer that the numbers they gave were based on a # of 1000 entries, or they should've written that the tournament would begin with 10-handed tables to insure a Top 10% payout of the prize money.
Instead they got what they got, and Harry was in the right to complain, but not for any of the reasons he alledgedly said or anyone said he said - he should've brought up how Harrah's had just now significantly thinned out the prize pool by starting with 6-handed.
