    LOL never heard of there being a split with more than 1 table in play... Sounds to me like the players were more up for getting a few beers down their neck than playing poker.

    p.s Fold AA FTW

    jeez, thats what they must call playing with scared money.....So if there was a winner, the tourney must have played on, or did everyone just shove every hand.  Sounds a bit crazy to me unless the pub had to close or something.  It would take all 16 players to agree,  I`m amazed that you could get 16 players to agree to this

    There was a £1,000 Tourney in Brighton where it got to the end of Day One & nobody seemed keen to return on Day Two, as there was a nice Tourney on in London, so the final 16 chopped it up. I think they - well, ahem, we - all got about £2,500 each. I believe that about 40 players played, so it would have been (approx) top 5 paid.

    Many mocked, but I'll take that ROI every night for 6 or 7 hours poker!

    What's not to like about turning £1,050 into £2,500 at almost no risk? 

    Happy days indeed.

    PS - The convention in such cases, by the way, as someone alluded earlier, is that EVERY player has to agree to the Deal. One objection = no deal.

    Each to their own, & all that. Move on, next case, & next week's buy-in is locked up.

    I will assume you mean't "knocked out" Shaun.....;)

    It's an almost nailed-on certainty, a version of Murphy's Law if you like, that whenever anyone declines a deal, they get busted.

    The exceptions proves the rule, though. Yesterday, Richard Ashby, aka Chufty, won the WCOOP 6 max Omaha after declining business when Heads Up. Ship the $180,000.

    He'd played the previous night, all night, then turned up at WSOP-E London (with the £10,300 Entry fee - in cash - clutched in his hand), played the WSOP-E, busted early, then back to his Hotel in time to play Night 2 of his WCOOP. And win it.

    In the middle of all that, he found time to give Channel 865 an Interview, which will air very soon. He did look a little tired & bemused. Especially at some of the questions Orford asked him......

    Yeh Ive never played live, but id imagine if I had say a middling/low stack, ie I was 10th/16, and was the one to say no to a deal, I'd deffo feel like I had a bounty on my head, they'd all be gunning for me.

    I recently had the reverse of this in a large online tournament, 4 players left i was 2nd in chips abot twice the shorties and everyone checked the yes box for a deal once the 5th went out, the chip leader a GERMAN was the one who had the control
    He wanted more than the chip count said he was due, i would have picked up a little less than 2nd prize which was double the 4th prize
    He would not budge, then arguments with the shorties and then deal was off, i would have been happy with what the chip count offered
    We played on and i got knocked out in 4th after getting all my money in 4-1 favorite twice with over pairs
    Could not be happy with the deal making but the moral is do not try to deal with a german

    Was very happy with 4th prize though
