Re: WSOP Heads up Format Issues

They should do it like the Mirage where they take the excess above 256 and put them in play-in matches where they pay half the buy-in...
doing that lowers the prize pool and generates less revenue
[/ QUOTE ]
Prizepool with 256 players = 1.28 mil
Prizepool with 370 players = 1.28 mil
Prizepool with 512 players = 2.56 mil
Either people in the play in game have to pay 1/2 the buy in or people who get a buy have to pay twice the buy in.
Since preregistration has already occurred I am going to say that the prize pool is exactly 1.28mil for this event.
The only other possible solution is for Harras to comp enough people buy ins so that they can get the number up to 512.
