I have to say even i am one of the biggest sceptics when coming to this uber stacked comp, however already stated.
68 runners ,struture bang on even for 40k deep and finished around 4am not the 6-7 as some of us predicted.(however if the numbers goto 100 a late one it will be)
Lots of new faces and plenty of donk players.(sighgh as i lose a 220k pot at 300-600)
Deans new nero player finishing 3rd.(naughty boiii)))
Only one thing i'd chage would make it an addon or rebuy for the additional 20k and therfore make the prize pool a changeling one to compete with other venues.
And as already stated 3 holdem cash and dealers that lasted throughout the comp/friday night as i was on all three till 830 this morning, this is what i wont to see a busy and productive cardroom, so i take it back George good job last night.

2 situations i would like to add into my futile poker experiences.
Firstly approx 6-7 years ago played my first big event for me somehow made the final table, 1st prize 28k, was 4th with 4 left in chips but literally very few bbs between all four stacks , im thinking mine for the taking as nothing to loose but if a deal was proposed i would have listened and acted accordingly if i wanted to deal , knew none of the players on the table, a break came up. Upon return im all pre on the button somehow all 3 players call then checked down to river and q 5 wins....
Im like stunned confused, not yet sunk in that 3 players have just colluded and knocked me out, first time id experienced this and lesson learned for future events and situations at tables to watch out for.
Secondly i know of a player who is heads up in a big event but needs to win it due to league points which would lead to that player been giving more opportunities, sponsership, media coverage, staking etc etc, to be fair he is chip leader but again during break approaches second player and offers him a deal with cash from his pocket, but the player declines as the player doesnt think the deal is in his favour which he was correct and they carry on and the player needing the win, wins by default anyway.
I know of no casino, cardroom being able to stop underhanded play so why not let deals by propsed by the players if they so seem fit, too many times have i seen local players gang up on short stacks call the all in of the short stacked opponets check it down then go outside and chop it up.
None of these players who have damaged the credibilty of the game in its principals have ever been caught or peanalised in any way as their seems to be no authourity outside a casino-cardroom to stop or prove any alegations made by a poker player, all authorty is in house, yes cheats have been caught and barred but this is neglible as rare and far between.
The scandals of past and recent online poker sites is again proof and the big players walk away and play somewhere else with our money.
Unfortunatley whatever decision is made over this it cant be enforced off the table , so i beleive if players at the time and place on a final table can make an amicable deal of some sort and were all happy let us make that decision and keep coming back to your establishments to play.
What needs to be done internationally is a set of rules or a governing body produced so the basic game of poker plays the same in all venues and no venue give a different ruling over the same hand scenario... baffling how this happens, yes your decsisons will be final but that dont make you right.
