Wow only top 9 get paid and top prize is 76G's? Must be a pretty small tourney in that case, doesnt compare to any of the majors by the looks of things

32 paid but still quite a small prizepool for a tournament with so much popularity and so many big names participating. pros must be playing it for fun, lol

There's a huge difference between a $1k buy in and a $10k.
Had this event been a $10,000 buy in, first place would be taking home $767k
 racpxt31/10/2009 21:48:22 GMT
10% field is not good enough. Minimum for a large MTT should be 20%-25%.

About Eastgate, he may be learning that being on a coin flip is not a guaranteed double up like he uses to think. Sometimes luck goes away.

Hope Lithuanian will take a win Smile
