Well there's a 20 million dollar overlay. Presumably they will forbid chopping or you'd probably see a six way chop. With a winner take all format, it's hard to see how they get six players. In Sklanksy bucks, it might make sense, if you figure you win one out of six you're 5-1 to win and getting a 7-1 payday (and a guy like Ivey probably figures he's something like 2-1 against to win), but given the stakes and that there are a limited number of these tourneys, it looks like a proposition few players would be bankrolled or inclined to take on.
