It's because it's 6-max; final table = final 6, so 7th-12th is final two tables. The big jump makes sense.

So, you are telling me the 5.6k to 17.8k jump is fine? That's insane.

Do places 1-6 pay the same % of the prize pool here that they would in a tournament with a 9-player final table? Seems like that'd do it.

A 350% prize jump should make that bubble something to watch.

Ted Forrest is still my poker hero for umping into the Beal game with his own bankroll in the beginning.

If there is anything close to a big stack on each table, and that big stack has a clue what he is doing, the final table will probably end up being 2 huge stacks and 4 very relieved short stacks.

Actually I'm seeing now that a) it's pot limit (harder to abuse the medium stacks) and b) the blinds are very small in relation to the stacks (harder to abuse the medium stacks).

so maybe it wont be so bad.

So, here's the structure for the top 18 in a full-ring PS tournament with 2001 to 2500 entrants. If there are two dollar amounts then the second is what that place pays today:
1: 21% $98490
2: 12.4% $58156
3: 8% $37520 ($37051)
4: 6.2% $29078 ($28140)
5: 4.8% $22512
6: 3.7% $17353 ($17822)
7: 2.8% $13132 ($5628)
8: 2% $9380 ($5628)
9: 1.3% $6097 ($5628)
10-12: 0.75% $3517 ($5628)
13-18: 0.75% $3517

Spots 1-6 stay the same, spots 7-9 lose about $12K total, and spots 10-12 gain about 6K.

edit - oh yea, the PS tournament payout schedule can be found here.
