The Saturday tournament is down to 12 players. Table 1 wants to chop 12 ways, table 2 doesn't.

Unless all the chips were on table 2, this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I'm assuming a 12 way chop is only going to get you your buy-in back and a small small profit.

Why would anyone invest all that time and effort for that?

I heard about a 13-way chop the other day. The players had paid $175 to enter, and each walked away with about $225, for a $50 profit.

Only about 20 people had entered, and the tournament payed ten spots. The blinds were still small, and with 30-minute rounds, they were going to stay small for a long time.

The chip leader, of all people, led the campaign to convince everyone to chop, because he knew it would take 4-6 hours to finish this thing, and the pie was already being sliced so thin as to not make winning worth his time.
