Re: Heartland Poker Tour allows questionable entry option
That is not analogous to the situation at hand. The "final round" is essentially an entire separate tournament because everyone in it starts with the same chip stack regardless of whether they qualified in the "preliminary rounds" or bought in directly. It might be confusing because of the nomenclature they are using, but think of it as the "real" tournament just being what they are calling the "final round" and the preliminary rounds just a satellite.
