By the way, the WSOP sucks for many reasons, including making chopping complicated and difficult.

Well, we made the normal type deal. Four left, split four ways (we all had almost even stacks). Then WSOP folks jumped in and said we could do what we want privately but at WSOP there technically is no chopping, so we have to play out no matter what in order to get paid (it was 1am and part of why we chopped was to go to sleep). They also repeatedly reminded us of the tax implications in that they would report the structured payout regardless of our deal, which caused some consternation among the four of us. So, we decided on an even chop of most of the remainder, and played out a winner take all for what was left.

Once we finished, getting paid was a real ordeal. Nothing like waiting in line for 30 minutes at 2am for a cashier to count out cash over and over again. How could they not have the bills all ready for pay out? Puzzling. The whole thing has been fun (this is my first WSOP event), but very disorganized. I almost hesitate to criticize, because all the WSOP folks are very nice, but I think for WSOP you'd expect a bit more organization.

I'm a thread hijacker. I'll start a different thread. Sorry.
