edit: & the tourney lobby states "Any final table deal must leave at least 5% of the prize pool on the table". I read that to be the entire prize pool...

Why use the words "prize pool on the table" if they really mean the total prize pool?
Makes no sense.

It makes perfect sense. "On the table" is the place where they are leaving "5% of the prize pool."

Lee Jones [Support]: Hi takt - we've reviewed the numbers. They're absolutely correct. You get $260,184.82 , illusive gets $248,648.93. You're racing for $150K exactly.

Anyone else think they should change the 5% rule about chopping?

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think they looked too closely at the implications of this rule when they get more than 4000 entrants. For less than 4000 players, this rule basically says "1/2 the difference between first and second must remain in the pool" since the gap is usually about 10% of the pool.
