hmmmm you asked for order of elimination, seeing as 5 people were eliminated before juanda, i think it's safe to assume juanda won. yes im being very sarcastic because i dont see how you can't realize juanda got first from that post

That is three hours that you saw. Blinds are 40 minutes.

40 minutes for the first 3-4 levels, then 15 minutes.

That's so disappointing, that's even worse than WPT. At least they have a better excuse, they need to make sure that all the games run the same amount of time. The only way to ensure it is to have a blind structure like this.

I think if you asked every single pro who has played a WPT final table and a Poker After Dark event, every single one would say the PAD structure is more favorable to the player. In PAD, you start with 100x the big blind and the levels move up very slowly. In most WPT events, only the chip leader will have 100x the big blind (not to mention the presence of an ante).

This is not a criticism of the WPT - this is simply a fact.

WPT is the same: you get plenty of play early on, it's only a crapshoot when it's time to actually split up most of the money.
