They have over 100 events now, with multiple reentries, and very late max reg. It’s all designed for deep pocketed pros to go deep and rack up multiple bracelets quickly. The days of a rec player getting hot and binking bracelet are basically gone (by design).

I couldnt believe how long the late reg was in the event i played in this year. They came in with less than 10bb.

I'm starting to think the daily deepstacks are designed for the rec grinders to keep them (us?) in the shallow end "over there". My buddy was trying to talk me into going out with him this year and last before I went in Oct last year and made other plans this year. I mentioned a couple bracelet events I was interested in (Battle of the Ages last year, Mini Main this year) and he shot back, "You don't want to do that, there's a great schedule of daily events and cash games." Turns out he just wanted me to come out to split expenses.

Evidently the dealer misdealt on the last hand of the Colossus. Heads up lasted exactly one hand, and the dealer dealt to the dealer button first (probably dealing to the small blind out of habit). Nobody caught it until the tournament was over.

It's hilarious how many people on Facebook are saying how they think it should be "made right," who have obviously never read the TDA.

I deal for my home game, been dealing for 20 years.

That was a miss dealt hand. $183,000 mistake!

There it is in Rule 35, Part D:

Once substantial action occurs (see Rule 36) a misdeal cannot be declared; the hand must proceed unless the deck is fouled.

Yes and no.

Yes the hand was dealt improperly. But neither player said anything.
No it wasn’t a $183,000. It had the potential of being that. If the hand was dealt correctly and played out all in in preflop as it more than likely would have happened. Chip stacks would have been roughly even at that point. But he still could have lost again. It just wouldn’t have been on that hand
