Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem. I have emailed support and not heard anything back. Shane can you please look into this issue for me?
I have experienced this... It was happening quite frequently for a while. I took screen shots & emailed lock & got brushed off... In my experience, when eliminated, these players are only paid for the spot that they went out in, though there name stays on the list often (or will disappear and reappear). I have always been payed the correct amount.
However, in bigger tourneys, I've noticed that these players are not counted in the prize pool. For instance, one week there were 3 or 4 of these 'phantom' players in the 100k GTD, which got more than 1000 entries. Even after the tournament was completed, the prize pool was still short by 3 or 4 hundred (so if there were 1010 entries, instead of being 101k in the prize pool, there was 100,700 or something like that)...
These players names are also often different on the player list than if you're sitting with them (slight variations (ie AZ/ MadDog or something like that shows as AZ only)).
