Dinner break. I'm at 92.5k, but avg stack is 62k so I'm no longer a big stack. Long way to go

I wonder how many of those entries were unique.

Reminds me of exactly the Card Room Manager, CEO, Accountant discussion I posted earlier.
Turns out to be an effective 5.2% rake (though my math skills aren't great without building a spreadsheet). I agree it was low (and super-low for a $500 event). Usually the players can see exactly how many players entered and immediately know how much should be returned to the players. If even one player saw the discrepancy the NGC would have them cold. In this case, nobody could possibly tell how much should be in the prize pool without an audit. 28,371 possible investigators, and not one could see a thing.
We only trust that Caesars is being fair.
If I worked for the NGC, that one-sidedness would be enough for me to take a look.
Finally got in to my 2nd tourney. The $470 HORSE at Arya. They sold out at 930am. I was alternate #47 and got seated midway through level 9. Now it's level 11 and they already let me get chip lead. I've got about 85k. Long way to go though.

Nice chips! Be sure to post pics when you get the higher denom ones! I wonder why these chips aren't in the MOGH chipguide?

Playing the WSOP HORSE today. Started with 10k stacks this year (previous years it was 4500). We're on the first break. I'm chip lead at my table with 14.3k, but it doesn't really mean anything at this point.

Someone add @Perthmike to the famous Austrian poker players category of Wikipedia immediately.

These are the color ups that could have allowed them to do the tourney with a single chip set.
What’s his count?

Leave it to the WSOP to make that phrase wrong in this forum.

For the main event, the WSOP is going to just use the "all chips are the same value" rule.

They got me today. Couldn't make any hands. I think I'm pokered out this trip. Probably going to head out to Zion national park tomorrow instead of grinding it out on the felt for another day. Good luck everyone!

"And Negreanu pushes in a yellow paulson chip, 6 black Bud Jones chips, 5 oversized red chips, and a beer coaster with a picture of a poker chip on it. That's of course a bet of 50,000"
Derailing this thread to say I love this postCard Room Manager: We have been vilified for the Colossus. We made millions and made it a shit-show.
CEO: Then do it again. Can you make it bigger?
Card Room Manager: A bigger shit show?
CEO: I love reporting that we had record numbers. It drives up our share price.
Card Room Manager: So bigger shit-show, or just bigger attendance?
CEO: At the end we can announce how the prize pool total was the biggest ever too.
Card Room Manager: You're not really answering my question. But I can make the prize pool bigger by not raking the initial buy-in.
Accountant: How will we get paid?
Card Room Manager: Rebuys. People will view this as the best +EV event in tournament history
Accountant: OK, let's rake the rebuys at 13%
CEO: This will be the biggest ever!
Card Room Manager: Yes, biggest event, It'll draw nearly 30,000 people! I will need more chips, especially small denoms, but top end chips as well. I'll also need chairs, tables, dealers...
Accountant: You can have $1000.
