Hi Sundevils,

[ QUOTE ]
I don't play on Pokerstars, what is a two table SNG? Does it play two tables until 10 players remain then narrow to one table? What is the payout strcuture?

[/ QUOTE ]

A two-table SNG has 18 players at the start. (PokerStars uses 9-player tables.) As players are eliminated, the two tables are kept even. E.g.: if there are 8 left at Table 1 and 6 left at Table 2, then one player from Table 1 will be moved to Table 2, making 7 at each. When there are 9 left, the tables are combined to form the final table.

The top four finishes get paid, with the payouts 40-30-20-10. E.g.: at a $55 SNG, with $900 in the prize pool, the payouts are $360 (1st), $270 (2nd), $180 (3rd), and $90 (4th).

Hope this helps.

Cris
