PokerStars Tournament #3663393, No Limit Hold'em
Buy-In: $20.00/$2.00
508 players
Total Prize Pool: $10160.00
Tournament started - 2004/12/01 - 18:00:00 (ET)

Dear Toro85,

Tournament #3663393 has been cancelled due to technical reasons.

When a tournament is cancelled before players are in the money, we refund
each player their tournament fee, and then divide up the prize pool based
on the following formula:

- 50% of the award pool distributed evenly between remaining players
- 50% of the award pool distributed proportionally according to the chip
count

At the time of cancellation there were 131 player remaining, and your chip
count was 9,444. Total chips in play were 762,000.

Prize pool to be divided equally: $10,160.00/2 = $5,080.00
Prize pool to be divided based on chip count: $10,160.00/2 = $5,080.00

Your share in money equally divided: $5,080.00/131 = $38.77
Your share based on chip count: $5,080.00 x (9,444/762,000) = $0.11
Your entry fee refunded: $2.00
Total money refunded to your account: $103.74

We apologize for the inconvenience.
