purple jacket? ayy

For that, they would have needed a points system where first place didn't get twice as much as second and ten times as much as min cash. Then Goose, whose worst finish so far was bubble boy, might be able to win it with a mincash even if the last event awarded 2x points.

I guess they wanted to have the winner being decided at the end of the last tournament to create some extra excitement. If the 100k would get the most entries of all tournaments, the winner would probably win the overall title even without any previous cash unless Sontheimer finished second.
Thank god they weren't stupid enough to make it ROI based. The last thing they want is a points system nobody understands.

Yah it could work because DW is not a good commentator. His analysis is like he is still in 2004. Would probably explain his results.

Good work man. This is awesome!

Assuming "Goose" is Sontheimer, he might still win it with a mincash in the $100k if the winner has no other big cashes. 1st place in the $100k will likely be around $1.4M.

Interesting, why do they expect such a small turnout compared to the other events? If I counted correctly, the average 50k had 47 entries? That number would pay 1.88mil to the winner in the $100k.

For the $100k winner to get $1.4M they need exactly 28 entries or 30/31 to be a little under/over that number based on the payout sheet previously posted. But even then, a mincash wouldn't do it for Goose unless that other player has no previous cash at all. Mincash at 28 entries would be 224k and at 30/31 players it would be 180k/186k (the latter one wouldn't be enough even if the $100k winner doesn't have another cash)

There are no rebuys in the $100k

guess Ben86 still with that no emotions face after losing 350k

Thanks for letting me know, had no idea about that and don't think that's a good decision.

Yeah, maybe DN would rebuy 20x or so to capture this honor ?

The $50k preliminaries only allowed 1 rebuy, probably wouldn't have been the end of the world to do the same for the $100k

All of the preliminary events allowed for one re-entry and nobody was able to buy "this honor". I don't think it would have been too different for the $100k event.

Why not both?

thanks for the data, sixhigh

don't forget the rake on re-entries!

bolding mine

what am I missing here?

I think the writer made what is sometimes called a brain-fart. (Unless I am missing something here.)

It's conceivable that a 2nd place finish in the 100k event for Negreanu could earn him the purple jacket. Although, this is largely dependant on field size and how individuals like Sontheimer, Kenney, and Schulman etc do.

Please explain. It seems logically impossible to me.

It seems impossible because it is.

No it's not. The only players that can win the overall leaderboard with a second place in the $100k event are the ones whose current cashes are higher than the difference between first and second in this event. Otherwise they will always finish behind that winner.

We don't have to know the amount for second to know that it's going to be
a) too little to surpass Sontheimer
or
b) too little to pass the winner of event #5 for DN with a current cash total of $102k

If you disagree, try to create such a scenario

Thanks madlex, you're right.

Thank you my man! I see Tollerene lighting another 100K on fire today. Serves him right for making my main man Doug Polk cry like a little baby.

It sucks that we're missing the first couple hours of play today.
