So big difference to be first place in end of tournament and win 303000 dollars and to be six place.and win only 41000. Of course when on final table situation all you can you must try to win tournament and not get in some higher place

The title for this news article is kinda confusing. What exactly do they mean with the denied? I have read the whole post but couldnt figure it out. And the letters from the screenshot is too small to read Anyway both second and third places paid good. I doubt they had a problem with that.

For two professional players like Jason Koon and Isaac Haxton does not matter too much occupied position. They are team of Party Poker and they are able to win a lot of money from poker in any room. The winning player was ,,mysterious'' and has cashed 300 k dollars. The difference is too high, this is true, but this is it. I know, the sums at the final table in all big tournaments should be changed. I think 7-8%t for the winner is very good.

They meant that they could not reach it since the fellah who finished first sent them home. It just a weird/archaic use of the phrase.

This really was a final table of the highest quality and to come out on top must have been really exciting. Isaac Haxton has always been one of my favourites players to watch on t.v. because he never seems to make bad decisions

I play pot limit omaha sometime too and i like this game and think it is very interesting and more fun of texas holdem no limit, but very big luck is need and sometimes if you make good decisions you still lose, like doubletop say isaac haxton make onky good decision and he still kot win 1st place

it is more interesting and fun for me also. I prefer mostly the Hi/Lo. These two games are the ones that i have been profitable, while i was grinding. With holdem it was nothing more than a loss, while playing ring games. So i ended up very fast excluding holdem from ring games, playing only a few tournaments. Unless i could find omaha tournaments
