These card rooms should be doing everything in their power to bring in and cater to the recreational players. Would you guys rather play an amazing structure against a bunch of other grinders, or play a mediocre structure (which gets better when it matters) against a bunch of dead money? Sometimes I don't understand people's attitudes on here...

Does this mean everyone who makes it to day 2 is guaranteed $3,000 too? If not, what is the next pay jump from $600?
Curious to how the Bike came up with $3,000 when all of the Day 1s aren't completed?

The 3k doesn't come out of the prize pool.

I'm not 100% sure what the initial pay is at the start of day 2. I heard it was $900, but not confirmed.

Anyone not happy with the time being 25mins sould look at the levels deep. There is a 7000/14000 and 9000/18000 level which you won't find in most tournaments and certainly not in a $250. This comes right around the day 2 bubble where it's important. It took 11 hours today to bust for day 2, that seems plenty long. I'd much rather be deeper later then have an extra 100 minutes on dayissue miss key levels. These things already go late enough with the 6pm stat that someone that works a normal job is forced to call in / work on no sleep the next day.

So with the million guaranteed their charging a rake plus an additional 3% from the prize pool? So their pulling atleast 30k in addition to the normal rake? I hardly play at the bike, is that normal for all their tournaments?

Just noticed this should read:

" I'd much rather be deeper later then have an extra 100 minutes on day 1 and miss key levels" sorry about the weird auto correct there."

Thanks JW, one time for the good guys!

I'll likely be helping out with the commentary on LiveAtTheBike.com as this final table plays down to a winner, feel free to stop by and give us a sweat.
