Anyone planning to play the Main Event?
Better take a second look at the structure sheet! I last played this event in 2016 and it had a great structure. Now it is terrible with no play as you get deeper into the event. This is not a debate about the BB ante, but the whole structure has been shortened.
In 2016 Level 18 was 2500/5000 with 500 ante. Now 5000/10000 with 10k BB ante. Just example, this way throughout.
Same starting stack as 2016 (25k).
Too bad, it was the one event they had with OK rake, and it is a nice room to play in; but they really screwed it up.

94 “S” points isn’t horrible, but is certainly low for a featured event. I’m not sure why they made the change. Maybe they had issues with how long the tournament was going given the field size. Or maybe BBA tournaments need to be tweaked in order to make financial sense (but that’s a story for another day and another hundred posts
)
