That was one of my thoughts too, but how can you stop them from chopping that 20% "under the table" even after the official chopped totals.

Yeah, I really didn't have any idea how long that would take. With my plan of no devices, no talking to your rail and no chop talk I bet things might move a little faster. Maybe throw in no food, one bottle of water and no bathroom breaks and I bet you it's doesn't take 24 hours. It will be survivor of the fittest. Don't even have to feel bad for older people, they usually don't make the final table that often anyway

Funny, some people seem actually mad or offended that there was a likely deal, but a part of me would almost fault them if they didn't draw something up.
Of course they made a deal, nobody can blame them for that. Just like tanking around pay jumps, how can you blame some of those players in those spots. Is there really no way to combat these issues in tournies?
