The difference, to me, is somewhat negligible but still there appears to be about 1K missing from the prizepool.
517 x 200 = 103,400
Minus 3% for staff that was expressed on the structure sheet, $3102, therefore a total prize pool of $100,298 is accurate.
HOWEVER, then when I add up all the prize distributions, the total is only 99,372?
I'm certainly not trying to say that there is something nefarious afoot, but the 5% payout really confuses me and the 3% rake didn't seem to be taken from the only other result list that I compared which was the final ring event of the $365. Of course, I double checked the structure sheet and noticed that it did not specify a 3% staff withholding, as the 250/100K.
Really, I'm just trying to learn how prize distributions work as I delve deeper into this world that I love! Truth be told, while I final tabled, I ended up being down over the past couple of weekends overall. So, even though, I probably shouldn't have I just felt compelled to tip the dealers, even though, I was ultimately down over the course of the series. I didn't tip much, just 26 bucks of my 1826, but still, I did tip. I guess, I wouldn't have double checked anything, except the payouts seemed to be a lot different from the other 100K's I've entered, of course those could've had many more entries, etc.
Just trying to understand...
