Message: [QUOTE="Grossberger, post: 1331360, member: 55797"] But players may have played differently since they were guranteed an amount freater than if they had not chopped. Now me myself have no problem dealing if all the chips are with in 4 or 5 BB blinds. I play in a Charity tournament in downtown cleveland its a $40 buy in with $30 going to prize pool usually gets around 60-70 players, blinds are 15 minutes long and each player starts with 3500 in chips blinds go up pretty quick. Any how I've have final tabled this 4 times in 6 tournaments and have chopped 3 times, the reason is chips stacks to blinds in each instance blinds were 4000-8000 or 5000-10000 and the largest chip stack was 80k, so at that point it becomes a best hand shoot out. In the 3 times I chopped I made $390 (chopped 5 ways first suppose to get $740) then made $505 (chopped 3 ways first sceduled to get $630) and then the other I made $430 (chopped 4 ways first to make $670) and the one time we didnt chop was because 2 players had over 100k and 2 players were sitting with 15k I was one of those players I finished 5th for $110. Also I have watched the final table of the Sunday Millions and watched a player lose alot of money. They got the numbers for a chip stack chop and all agreed except the player in 2nd he was going to get 98k and said he needed at least 150k the guy in first said he would give him 2k to bring him to 100k and the guy just wouldn't do it so they played on and he ends up getting knocked out in 5th for 35k. Then on the otherside I watched the 2008 WCOOP main event final table, and when it got down to 5 they looked at the numbers player AKJhoosier was sitting in 5th and after the numbers said he needed at least 800k because he had backers so first and second took some off theirs and put him at 800k and they were playing for 60k for the winner well AKJhoosier ends up finishing 2nd and would have won 1.4 million had he not done a deal.
