Is the main event double points or am I imagining that that is the case ?

There's still the rivercard to come - the fat lady's warming up, but she's not letting rip yet, not going to count my chickens before they've hatched, and any other clichéd saying that's relevant.

Andy Black cashed in the penultimate event.  I can't imagine m(any) picks getting anywhere near the final table in the main event, but I'm sure one or two will get points.

Think you might be right, but can only see these listed on the WSOP site:

 1.     Erik Seidel      $538,835
 2.    Chad Brown    $324,777
 3.    Shahram (Shawn) Sheikhan    $206,676
 4.    Lamar Wilkinson    $162,389
 5.    Andrew Black    $118,101
 6.    Kassam (Freddy) Deeb    $73,813
 7.    Todd Brunson    $51,669

Don't know why it doesn't show past the top 7

I have found Barry Greenstien made the Final Table as reported on Pokerpages  but did not make money
only 7 places were paid. So does Barry get 3 points for the Final Table?   



All bracelet events count. Second chance and non bracelet events don't count.

5 points for a bracelet, 3 points for a final table, 1 point for making the money

Triple Draw had a seven handed final table. Because of the number of runners, only the final table was paid. Therefore Andy Black got three points, and Barry Greenstein got nothing.

For the payout, I would suggest paying top five in a 50/30/20 percentage split. Which I think makes it 440/264/176 in dollars. Which means that probably any of these lot can still win some money.

Kinboshi       48
Temp0r       45
Mpower       44
Delboy         43
The Baron    42
Dino1980     42
Milkybarkid    41
Zzzzzzzrope   41

Chad Brown Wins a 600,000 Pot
Andrew Black raises under the gun to 54,000, Lama Wilkinson calls, and Chad Brown calls from the small blind. Brown draws one card, Black stands pat, and Wilkinson draws one card. After the draw, Brown bets 200,000, Black calls, and Wilkinson folds. Brown shows 7-6-5-4-2, and Black mucks. Chad Brown wins the pot worth over 600,000 in chips.

From the live update at Pokernews.

Nearly Hand-for-Hand

We're set up in a position where we can get most of the action now. However, we won't start counting final table hands until they reach the official final table of seven players. (Which is also the money bubble.)

This is what I used. I'm not giving a player three points for winning nothing.

[Karabiner]

I would seem reasonable to me that a player has to first win one point before he may win three. 

[MPOWER]

You make it up as you go along then duck.

Barry Greenstein made the final table in Event 54. It is a fact!

Way back in the WSOP there was the incident of the ten-handed Phil Hellmuth final table, when there was a 'final table' and a final table. Same thing applies here.

As in any competition, in cases where unusual circumstances mean the rules are unclear, the judge (which is de facto me) reserves to right to make a ruling he judges to be best in the spirit of the competition. Which is what I've done here.

I haven't had a look at your team Mpower, but it wouldn't happen to have Barry G in it, would it?

[AndrewT]

I think I made a post outlinng the payouts.. I think it's best to stick to those.

Tikay paid for an entry but never submitted a team and one scoundrel never paid...

Cool, if there's already been a post about that then that's what we'll go with.

I think that no one could remember the details.
