Official Who We're Rooting For WPT Event

[ZBTHorton]

Nick is chipleader.

I just got an IM from a fraternity brother of mine. Another brother(high stakes online poker pro) is at Foxwoods, and has 5% of Nick....go TAKEOVER! :-)

[Exitonly]

there down to the final 6 which they play out tomorrow, Takeover = chipleader by 2 million. Crazy.

I am sincerely liking Nick's chances to take this one down.

Find more hype on my boy here

does the payout structure in this tournament strike anyone as really really steep? having to place 35th or better just to double your buyin in an 800 person tourney? and 1st pays 20x what 10th pays?

I dunno, maybe this is standard. It just seems wierd that in a tournament where first gets $2m, 21st gets $34k.

I'm in a PP MTT right now and 1st gets 20x what 10th gets.

yeah, i think it's just the size of the numbers, combined with the fact that they flattened the WSOP structure so much (1st got 7x what 9th got), made it seem strange.
