A great game for the winner of this $ 25k buy in game. I believe that Sam Tricket is a professional player who should not surprise anyone. His talent is special and deserves respect for it. Phil Ivey also has a profit of $ 45k and Borgata Cazino they hope to confiscate them. I'm kidding here.

This was a better investment than the other tournament with $50.000 buy-in! Here the winner took +$400K and there the winner "only" took +$ 700K! Something occur with those tourneys, because only here were knowed players, like Mateos and Ivey. Perhaps they played the $ 50.000 buy-in and all of them were lost? Incredible!

You read the news but you didn't understand, my friend. In this mini tournament was 58 players with $25,000 buy in. When the amounts of money are large it all depends on how the awards are divided. They considered it to be good and the winner had a very nice profit.

May be CALICUL...understand english is still difficult to me! But I know about mathematics, only a little. And if I multiply 57 players for $25.000, it give me $ 1,425M, and if I multipply 45 players for $50.000, it give me $ 2,250. The first is the 63 % of the second amount. However, the winner of the $ 25.000 buy-in tourney got a prize that was almost 60% with more players in the money!

I met Sam once, and he is a real nice bloke, and apart from the fact he is a Man U fan, I wish him all the luck. We all need to set poker goals and one of mine, (which is not too far off I hope), is to sit at a live table with Sam, and show him "how its done!!" #gottodream

Yes - for someone of Phil's calibre, getting almost 3 to 1 is probably a disappointment.

like it other thread,you have some wrong informations,where do you find this number of players,when you have on top of every news that there were 58 players on both of them,so how can you count 45 players on 50 K tournament? they just have different % for other places,then on this 25 K,so doesnt mean that first place need to be double more of first place on 50 K tournament!

It is true that the 1st place won a lot of money but is not my system that calculates how to award the prizes. I do not like this tactic in the online environment because i think the 1st place earns too much money. Live is their decisions and you cannot change the situation.

Yes CALICUL, I think too that the matter may be different between online or live tournament. And, despite to see a big number in your e-wallet would be a wonderful emotion, being surrounded by huge piles of banknotes should be immensely better! And we have to think that not all of those players are laying with their money. Thay would be playing with the money of investors!
