sunday million 5th anniversary
WYoung83:
Well......the standard sunday millions finishes at 8.00 am - 9.00 am. And this one was at least 3 hours later. But with a feild size of almost 10x, guess it only made a slight bit of difference, but it was still a difference. And i predicted it would be around midday.

well done will.
shame the prize for predicting the finish time doesn"t match that for still being in at the finish time

Didnt watch the final table, but what time did it finish in the end? and how deep were stacks etc once the final started.

12:06 finish
stacks at start of final ranged from 10x to 100x

I thought BB was 2.5mil and largest stack was just over 100mil (see Leigh's post above)

I wasn"t paying close enough attention then ;)
I"m sure I saw that at some point someone had 100x - probably not when table was full then :)

Clearly increasing the field from usual c8,000 to 60,000 doesn"t have as great an impact on the tournament timing as I thought it would. 9:20am and they are down to bubble for last two tables.

the blinds and anti dictate when a comp finishes not how many runners

I am pretty sure the number of runners must have some effect!
If you double the number of runners you need to wait for the blinds and antes to double to get to the same point -all other things equal ...

there just been the UKIPT with over 1000 runners 15k starting stack 1hr clock 2 day1 and a day 2 and a final table on the 3rd day ,compare that to the GUKPT had about 300 runners 15k starting stack 1hr clock 2 day1 and a day 2 with the final on the 3rd day

been thinking about this a bit - clearly when there are more runners, there are more tables, more hands in parallel, and therefore more concurrent knockouts.... it"s only when the tables start to diminish that the tourney slows down as there are less knockouts in parallel - so yes I agree with Alan... the impact of more runners has a minimal effect on the length of the tourney.

I think we are in agreement that the biggest factor is the blind structure ... however as you get to mega fields the tournaments speed up due to there being lots of qualifiers ... how long did it take to get from two tables to one ... given an early chop likely ... I would have thought it would slow down a lot ... also once you have a 9 way chop then things will speed up a lot ... if no chop it may have run a lot longer ...
Anyway see you at the final table next year!
