Yes

Simon will have a better idea depending on numbers through later in the week, but assume normal early hours finish for now

Hi Folks

182 players entered day 1A of the Grand prix a positive start.

Playing for 18 spots into the sunday final + 2 x £60 tokens for 19th & 20th

I will post chip counts up at the end of play.

Good luck to those in the fight

Well done to the 18, hoping to join them on Sunday :-)

I think I know the answer to these, but will ask anyway..

a) If you get the consolation prize of a re-entry through being caught in the hinterland of the rounding down to 10%, and were playing with a Golden Chip, does it carry over?

and

b) If you get the consolation prize of a re-entry through being caught in the hinterland of the rounding down to 10% and choose not to use it because the answer to a) was no and you want to play your second attempt live on Saturday with a Golden Chip in play, can you cash in the value of the consolation prize?

Hi David

If we issue you a £60 token then no unfortunately it won't be a Golden Chip as technically that attempt uses one of your Golden Chips. If you have additional Golden Chip seats still to use then you will use them first before using the token we have credited.

The rule for the tokens we credit will be the same as the general GP token rules which is basically if you have 3 additional tokens but only choose to play on 1A then 1G for example then you won't be entitled to a refund for those that you didnt use in the mean time. However if you played on 1B for example and made it through then you will receive a refund for all unused tokens.

Cheers Nicola

i used my golden chip on sunday and lost 

looking at the rules i can see there is no way i can get another golden chip for this tournament   

can all talk of golden chips now be banned from this forum... i am pretty sure all golden chip questions have been asked and answered 17 times already   

thanks

remembering what i can from the old school days i am pretty sure 10% of any number of runners will result in average stack of 10 times the starting stack which is 200,000 (give or take a few K from those that bubble online and get the £60 token)

How about if there are 200 players with 20k chips

200 x 20000 = 4,000,000

4,000,000 / 10 = 400,00

if there are 200 players 20 players go through...av 20k

Hi Guys

Day 1B starts in just 1 hour....currently 56 registered! Reckon we should start with similar to last night so 130 to start then we could get it up to 200 in late reg as it's a Monday

Good luck to those playing.

Cheers Nicola

P.S 10% go through so the average stack will always be 200K, 10 times the starting stack as only a 10th of the players...what would your Maths teachers say

[david3103]

Average will be a touch over that 200,000

average stack from last night was
(182 x 20,000)/18

which is 202,222.2222

plus the potential impact of a few people surrendering a stack.
If the lowest stack from last night decides that six more goes is worth giving up the stack then last night's average becomes 209512.06
(182 x 20,000 - 78295)/17


pedantry is alive and well
