[HiatusOver]

I played in the TOC...I came in 14th in the San Diego Rincon event. The bubble in that event was HUGE, 19K for 18th place plus a free seat in the TOC which was understood by everyone to be a 2 Million dollar free-roll with at most 109 runners (I asked a floor person during the tournament and he confirmed the #'s). I can think of atleast 3 hands where this monstorous bubble factored in to decisions I made when there were 3 tables yet. Sure adding these 3 superstars took away "only $1000" dollars of EV from me, but I think the principle is the issue here. We were lied to, who knows how far it could have gone. The fact is that we were lied to and were never given an explanation. Also, everyone hates Phi Hellmuth. That certainly has something to do with the public outcry
