Re: Festa al Lago payout structure

Well the WPT certainly works the payout structures so that 1st is always 1 million + if they can get it. People want to see big wins. By making second nearly half and forcing no deals the WPT gets made for TV Drama IMO.
What sucks from the players standpoint it really that without dealmaking and the huge blind structure these tournaments really are flipping coins for millions.
Sad really. To work hard for 4 days and it all come down to card catching.

But there should have been no problem paying $1 million+ to the winner and still providing for a fair payout to 2nd, etc.; they are paying >$600K to places 51-100, who shouldn't really get paid at all.
