How many people were in it, dear God. 2k buy in with that many people. Unless the rest of the structure was really weak...

In a situation like this for Jurollo, who's bankroll is probably 40k, you would have to be an idiot not to take guaranteed better than 2nd place money.

[/ QUOTE ]holy crap was that the best chop in history? everyone wins more than 2nd place money?

Chopping is standard at most large tourney's. The WPT does not allow it though. Which ticks off a lot of players, due to increasing blinds and antes making them million dollar crapshoots. Not choping sometimes is dumb.

At the 2004 WSOP Raymer made it well known to the other players he wanted to chop even at 5 handed. I donno if it ever happened though.

What's wrong with that.

There's a difference between a chop and an even chop, and if the money's really significant to other players and they can't possibly see Raymer losing, he can probably get a ridiculously good deal.

This may be the dumbest question ever, but does this chop mean they play it out for who gets the bracelet, and then just all meet up afterwards and exchange $$$ so they all get $400k?

No sorry, he let players know (before the final table) once 5 handed he was interested in choping. Maybe he changed plans after he steamrolled the table.
