In regard to equity, what do you think about the argument Gary Wise puts forth on his ESPN blog:
"The fact that Chen was assured the spot in the next round likely hurt the earning potential of everyone left in the tournament. After all, would you rather play Chen, a two-time bracelet winner in 2006, or a random opponent?"

But it's not a random opponent, it's one who made it to headsup in a single table, and is probably not as good as chen to be sure, but also probably not THAT much worse...I dunno.
