I really disagree that it's "awful" to turn this down. Given Devin's utility argument (that it allows him to play the highly +$EV $1.5k WSOP event and have some cash for other awesome games), taking the chop makes sense. It probably costs him a few hundred dollars in actual tournament prize pool equity.

I do know from experience when you're the only one to turn down a many-way chop, people hate you and collude against you, which is almost always -$EV for you.

If I was devin I would have tried to get myself an awesome deal. Like I'lll chop only if everyone gives me $200 out of what they get paid.

ya, this is a great spot to be an [censored] and be like 'im better than you give me more money' because they will all be like, whats 200$ out of my 8k, ive seen this happen a bunch of times watching MTTs at night, granted the fields weren't this big at the point of the dealmaking, but still.

anyways, nice score devin, 8k is a sexy hit at the beginning of the Vegas extravaganza
