refundment after partypoker crash yesterday

[asteroid]

hi all,

yesterday i played in a 100+9 $ nolimit-holdem tournament on partypoker.
as most will know their server crashed ,the tourny was running a bit more than 1 hour then.so i kept waiting for maybe 2 hours if the tourny restarted or was cancelled.as usual no e-mail information from party.
i was still in the tourny (137 left of 258 entrants) so i got an email now telling me that the prizepool was divided among the remaining players (50% of the pool equally divided,the rest according to chipcount) which would be fine by me wasnt it for the fact that 258x9$ were kept by partypoker and not redistributed.i fail to see how they can keep all the tournament fees for a tourny which ran about 1 hour and kept the players waiting 2 more hours before the cancellation.
in my opinion all the rake should be refunded as well(wheter giving all players back 9$ or distributing it between the players still in the tourny remains discussable)
i dont even ask for compensation for the 2 hours waiting after the crash,but at least we should get back the entryfee here!

discuss
