That's not apples to apples. In PAD, when you're down to 6 handed, it's not time to decide who gets the money, it's time to shuffle up and deal. The point is that in both WPT and PAD, you start out with a very good and playable structure, but then it turns to crap just at the most important point of the tourney. For WPT it's the final six, for PAD it's HU.

When Cunningham and Juanda went up, the stacks were approximately 50k/70k. Blinds were 800/1600.

I don't know exactly how to compare that to a WPT final table structure, but as I remember most of them, few players have that many BBs when "money-time" comes around. And, for the record, I would argue "money-time" in a WPT event is NOT the final table. There is often very little difference between 4th, 5th, and 6th. "Money-time" is usually top three (as is the case in most tourmanents).

At this point, I barely know what I'm arguing about, so unless something clearly erroneous shows up in response, I'll just leave it at that.
