Over 5500 people and 1.1 Million in the prize pool, Stars doesn't even have a prizepool for that many players it looks like they have to make one up now. Who's in from here? I already busted
I was unable to play in today's tournament. I am definitely going to play in the next Sunday tournament that my schedule will allow. 5500+ players is awesome.
How long do think it will take to finish? And, will they stop increasing the blinds at a certain level (I believe eventually they cap the blind increases)? With so many chips in play, they might decide to keep advancing the blinds.
I lasted for almost 3 hours and busted out 951 of 5506. No money, but I am happy with my play to get that far. I was cruising along early on, and I get dealt AA UTG, I smooth call, a MP poooshes all in for 6k, I had about 12k, I call. He shows 95 off..... 4 hearts on the board, his 5 is a heart, my A's are not..... donk.
Next hand I get 99, with a 9 on the flop, I poosh, 1 caller who hits his runner runner flush on the river.
55 lost to A3 when the A hit the river......
Then I get severely short stacked when the blinds are 400/800, I poosh 4200 with A4 soooted and get called by MP with A7o and IGHN.
549th pays $660, that would have been very sweet for a $6 investment.
PS- Last weeks tourny finished at about midnight, this one probably around 1am.

Shitty way to go from chip leader to bust in 3 hands.

My finish time guess: 12:45 am. Over or under?
An easy over.
Mmmmm... fried eggs...*drool*

im pretty sure last week with 4500 or so lasted til like 4 in the morning
did they change the structure? i thought last week was 25 minute levels but this week its 15
I noticed that too. IIRC, the bling levels used to be 20 minutes for the big Sunday tournaments.
That's too funny of a typo to fix.
