3rd - £4000
2nd - £6500
1st - £9000

It really is THE most eccentric payout structure and I"m never ever going to understand it.
Personally I feel that people play these events primarily for the ME structure and also for the social interaction and general bonhomie and all this despite the payout structure. There is generally a seat into something or other added so the tourneys will always be played out to a finish.
I love the events but I just don"t get why 9th pays the same as 4th.

It"s about the concept of gold, silver and bronze medals for the top three and then completely flat beyond that to encourage people to head for the top three rather than ladder up a place or two...witness this final table
Chipaccrual:
Steve Roderick raise from mp, Jeldon Fernandes goes allin for his 210k stack from the small blind, Steve is really committed to the pot and makes the call.
Jeldon has 44
Steve has KT
The flop comes K x T, Turn T, River x, whiich means we lose Jeldon Fernandes in 6th place, collecting £1200.

Because it"s not about the money...the structure is designed to promote play at the tables and so is heavily weighted towards the later finishers.
Once the pressure is off about how much you"re gonna get (at the FT) then the play gets so much better when you"re playing for the win.
Simples.

Thx Tikay lol

Not sure whether commenting on a player"s tells whilst people are still in the hand is the best behaviour at the table. Or screaming he has no hand this is a button steal. Bit strange from tournament commentators!
