You are correct Sir.

20@25 will be a good size to start for winner take all.

If we have more, then we can think about some creative fun payouts.

I still can't see how this works in practice.

The last thing on your mind when moving tables is to "report", but let's say somehow, people were doing this, where would they report to? And who would validate the information? Players are not tracked until chips are bagged and / or the money bubble breaks.

Gonna try to build a colossal chip lead before Day 2 with only one bullet, but prepared to 4x it if needed.

Best solution to last longer bet for the Colossus is...

Winner of last longer bet must "cashed" in the event.

If nobody cashes, then $ will be return to all.

If multiple players cashes then you can do 75% for 1st and 25% for 2nd.

If only one player cashes, then he or she will get the entire 100%.

Problem solved.

Put me down for this bet.

I can do $25, $50, $100 but money must be in escrow. Can't trust degen poker players.

It would be cool if we get 100+ players for this last longer bet.
Would be a very nice score.

I was thinking on same line !!

In order win, have to make day 2 (If no one makes day 2 Refund to every one ...Just a thought ). I think by day 2 ,field will be manageable .

Then

30% of the pool can be divided between players who makes day 2


For Example 100 started with 50 each.

15 made to day 2. They will be divided $1500

And winner will get rest or

1st place will get $2500
2nd place will get $1000

I will go with 25 -100 . Which ever gets more runners !

I don't think making day 2 is good enough. Hard to prove who truly last longer among strangers. Must cashed (therefore will be on official record) to win last longer bet. If nobody cashes then $ will be refunded to all.

And you must announce your starting flight. If you are using your last longer bet on flight 1a and are not listed on end of day 1a list of those making day 2... then you are recorded as a bustout. Even though you may play day 1c and bag for day 2... you are officially counted as a bustout for this bet.

The question now is how to account for re-entries into the same starting flight. At the moment, I can only think of honor system and possible audit when a winner is about to be declared.

There is no re-entry /rebuys in same flight !

One entry per flight.

You're making it so complicated it sounds like a regular Mega-Sat.

How are you planning to adminster funds for so many people, validate their identity etc.?

This is the first time the tournament has come out. And since it will probably be the largest ever, I would guess 5 or 6 days.

So I see full WSOP schedule is out now but don't see structures. Anyone know if those are avaliable too? Trying to figure if this event will have 30 min or 1 hour levels.

I am going to be in Vegas for first two weekends of WSOP, Fri May 29th to Sun June 7th (9 nights)

Im looking to see if anybody wants to share a room for that time period. I literally will almost never be there, except to sleep six hours a night. I grind cash games the rest of the time. Looking for something economical, especially on the weekend days. Maybe something like Ballys, Gold Coast, Harrahs, Flamingo etc

Im 31 yr old, male, online cash pro. Ive had success on here finding good ppl to room w/ so figure Ill give it a try again

Yeah, they say 5 days total. They should be able to make it in that time easy. 40 minutes are short levels.

Book room at Gold Coast (ask for WSOP rate) now and worry about finding a roommate later

I gamble in the out 1x a year and got 10 nights at Rio for July 1 for 10 nights for 700. About half the cost is resort scam and taxes

So pumped for this event! Its def gonna be a crapshoot but I feel like I can play a shortstack better than the average joe so I'll give it a shot! Grinding up the funds now, but thinking of starting a crowdfunding campaign to sell some action so I can buy in to all 4 flights. LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!

LOL Resort scam. Good term for it. I could see the premier casinos having this but seems like even Ballys & Harrahs have like a $15 a night resort fee now. GL in main event Mike, I will be watching for you on ESPN & listening for Norman Chad strat tips on how to exploit you
