They were trying to get PLO started, but I had to leave at 11 and it still hadn't started yet.
for the tourney players, The 80.00 tourney got like 75 people, i remember looking at the screen it paid 8 with 1400 something up top. There's no play it in though, when there were 22 people left avg stack was 11 bigs. And yes, as someone mentioned above it's 60+20 juice absolutely unbeatable long term.
Agree, the starting stacks for the normal tournaments ($80,$135) aren't really big enough to have much play at all once you get down to the final 10 or 20 players. They had 118 entries on July 3 for a $135 tournament (only $100 to the prize pool) and yet the final 9 stacks with one exception were all 8-15 BB. We ended up basically splitting $12k 9 ways. It was a fun tournament until the shove/fold phase.
The small starting stacks also discourage re-entries and late buy ins since you are starting with a 10 BB stack at the end of the entry deadline (blinds 200/400/75). You can get more players if you start with say $8k. Sure the tournament would last an extra hour or two but they only run about 4 hours now.
