Cryptologic network have "ROBBED" 36 players out of potential $54K prize pool !!

Date 29th April 11o'clock start. $25+2 entry. "5K Guranteed SUN (ID4640161)" this had an advertised prize pool of $54K.

Everyone could see that this was not the correct prize pool, yet this enticed myself and others to enter this tounament. After 2hours 48mins, and down to 36 players (30 place pay out structure) a message comes up on the four remaining tables "Tournamnet Paused By Poker Room Manager" , everyone thinks, whats going on here then. " " Everyone starts to kick off, and over half an hour later the argument is going on. with the Poker Manager refusing to continue the tournamnet and instead we told, not offered, " "


Arguments are till on going.


What are your views ? Can they do this ? Should they do this ?

[/ QUOTE ]No, they (meaning the players) shoudln't angleshoot by taking advantage of an obvious error.

There is no reason to cancel the tournament all together, ATLEAST finish it with a $5k prize pool...

I think that is wrong too though. They stated $54k and should pay it, they can easily afford it.

And If they dont pay $54k maybe even make it $15k or something like that.

Yeah right. Don't lose any sleep waiting.

It was an obvious mistake, they should've allowed the tournament to be played and pay the 5k prize pool.
The thing is, in the lobby it was advertised as 5k not 54k so you can't claim you were enticed by that.

[WelshChip]

It was advertised as a "5K Gtd" the prize pool clearly stated it was 54K prize pool, this is what intised me into playing, i would other wise never had played this tournament.

What really got to everyone, we played for nearly 3 hours, late into the night for most, then it got stoped right befor the money ! Really felt like we were being taken to the cleaners !

you were hoping to take them to the cleaners on an obvious error. don't act so disgusted that they aren't paying up.

[Grasshopp3r]

How they can actually run a tourney with the wrong guarantee is beyond me. They should be held accountable for the $54K error if the tourney starts with that prize pool. Everyone who remains should split the pool or something.

[ChicagoRy]

So they just stopped it completely?

Why not let it run out and pay the original 5k gtd?

Something has to be missing from this story or from the intelligence of the person who made this decision.
