Re: Event #39 - 50K HORSE

The structure is obviously too fast in the middle-late stages. When chip leaders with 52 left are exiting in 30 mins. at 46th in a LIMIT tournament, something is wrong. [/ QUOTE ] Or it could mean the chip leader was a donkey.

Re: Event #39 - 50K HORSE
Anyway you look at it , 140 players playing for 5 more then whole days is a LONG tournament, much much much much deeper then any other tournament in poker, and as is well known, all in life is relative and so I think this event passes with flying colors.

Daniel Negreanu went from 1.2mil to 600k in a very short period. Phil Ivey entered day three(52 left) 8th in chips and was out in 30 mins.

I think WSOP has pretty strict rules against this sort of thing. [/ QUOTE ] According to pokernews, Event #41 (the Seniors No Limit Hold'em Event) event was decided by a deal: [ QUOTE ] Before the heads-up battle the players chose to make a deal, and Ernest Bennett was declared the tournament winner. He's posing for photos right now with his World Series of Poker bracelet, and Tony Korfman finishes as our runner-up. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Event #39 - 50K HORSE
I don't like it either. Chopping the money, provided all players agree on a deal, is ok, but the bracelet winner should be determined on the felt.
