34th ain't so bad after day one, Mr. Costa, keep at it!

PS what are the blinds for the start of day 2?

I understand wanting to give a larger portion of the field some money back, but 19-27th place still loses $9,001 for being "in the money". I understand sunk-cost theory and all, but paying nearly 25% of the field but only having 15 of the 27 being paid even showing a profit seems like it would not be a desirable outcome. The way it's set up, you have to finish 8th to double your entry fees!

If I were in the tourney, it seems like I'd rather have them pay 18, and distribute the extra $144,000 saved from spots 19-27 to spots 9-18. But, that's just me.

Any thoughts?

I agree with you. It seems like if you won a satelite for your seat or got it from a WPT event its ok, but if I payed the 25k I would want to win money if I came in the money.

No TJ? What happened?

[TimTimSalabim]

I don't see Juha there either. He must have overplayed one of those J6's.

[MCS]

Juha is #39, and if you look back at the list, it'll become clear why a search for "Juha" is destined to fail.

Hey my last name is Tran too [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Cool. Go Tran!! Maybe he's related. 2nd is good. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

25K buy-in. Oh boy. I didn't know that I had rich family.

[TimTimSalabim]

I like the 25k buy-in. It pretty much guarantees we'll see some superstars at the final table. Perhaps mixed in with a couple of amateurs. It should be fun.

[electric2]

I had the same thought when I reviewed the payouts just now!
