anyone that turns down 8th place cash with 32 ppl left in a crapshoot is awful.

honestly great chop.

I really disagree that it's "awful" to turn this down. Given Devin's utility argument (that it allows him to play the highly +$EV $1.5k WSOP event and have some cash for other awesome games), taking the chop makes sense. It probably costs him a few hundred dollars in actual tournament prize pool equity.

I do know from experience when you're the only one to turn down a many-way chop, people hate you and collude against you, which is almost always -$EV for you.
