Re: A Surprise at the Venetian !
[ QUOTE ]
I don’t see how a deep stacked low buyin tournament makes sense from anyone’s perspective. The rake per table hour has to be crazy low on a $300 tournament that lasts two days. And from a player perspective there’s no way to have a high hourly earn rate with such a small prize pool for the hours played. Am I missing something here?

Full tables earn more than empty tables. Even if the $/hour for the tournament time is less than that of a ring game, when the choice is between emty tables earning $0/hour and full tabkes earning a reduced amount per hour there is little question which is better.
If you spent time at the Venetian last month you would have seen that the room was very busy and it is quite certain that it is related to both the WSOP being going on AND the DeepStack tournaments bringing in many players.
