Can someone explain the structure with the 3- 100k bullets or w/e? Either it's really vague on the structure sheet or I'm just a maroon. Thanks

*edit* Here's what it says:

Players start with 300k in tournament chips (three 100k bullets)
All bullets must be redeemed by the end of day one.

I don't get it at all.

The structure sheet also says that players should dress business casual. Half of them wearing hoodies and Foxen in a tshirt smh.

Yes you are correct, you can start with all 300k of it at once, or with 100k and just add on 100k as you please (two times in total). So basically 100k starting chips with 2 free rebuys at any time throughout day 1

Now we got Vogelsang wearing a half hoodie that covers his face up past his ears. Sorry to be a rules nit but they made dress code rules for a reason! Where's the damn TD?

Much prefer the older structure of buy in and get your chips once rather than this new 3-stack structure. Its a lot easier to follow for the viewers imo.

Overall absolutely love the event, favourite event in poker by far. Elite field, quality commentary and great graphics make for a very pleasant viewing experience

What do you think?

I don't like it. It's actually an extremely boring cast. Obviously they all play well but they are not the most entertaining bunch. For me, it's more fun to watch a game where mistakes are made more often as in many of the WSOP events. A table with a mix of amateurs and pros if often much more exciting.

But I'll probably watch some of it.

I can never tell how serious the antagonism is between Ali and Schulman. It seems like it's in jest, but sometimes it has a little hint of realism.

Either way its funny

I'm a fan, but feels like having this second one of 2018 has taken some shine off it. Didn't need the lottery and field size is way down

I think they did that because they are moving it to the winter months for good and didn't want an 18 month gap from the last one.

Plus a lot of them were already in town for the 5 Diamond.

Do we really need to see the clock always counting down (or up) the seconds every time? Isn't that annoying for the viewers? Just put it on when there's extra time used.

This also gives me the will to rant about software that does this always (partypoker), just count it down when there is extra timebank (like in stars or ftp software).

I always watch the next day so I can pause and rewind at my leisure...

What is the story with the "bullets" format? Is it not just a straight up 300K buy in?

Negreanu whips out the Stars patch then proceeds to click buttons. Bahahaha. Hopefully him and Badz get into it.
