There was 5 players left in the 25/25 series @ Blackpool.
They decide to chop it all up 5 ways.
They decide to whoever gets the high card wins the trophy!
Thoughts?

My thoughts are that no one gives a shit about the trophy! Money pays the bills not trophies. If I was in a situation where my opponent offered me a bigger split if they could keep be declared the "winner" and have a trophy I would snap accept! Rather take the money than massage my ego

All I can say is that they're lucky Nick Hicks wasn't playing it.

It's all about the money, but usually in these situation there is usually something left to play for and trophy for overall winner, no? If it was me, I'd rather not have the trophy at all, than win it through pure randomness. |

I agree that high card is ridic! What would someone do if at a final of an EPT headsup and other player offered you an extra 15k for tr trophy and for him to be registered as the winner?

Tell him where to go! Potential sponsorship and prestige from being winner worth more than that. |

Think it is good. Nothing worse than carving outa deal and then someone playing on for rankings points online. You win, I am off to bed.
On reflection, the worst was chopping a limit tournament and then not been able to go all in blind next hand. Bet, bet, bet, bet ffs.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

They can do what they like. However, I like winning and I'm used to getting trophies when I win something (granted, not in poker  ), so I'd absolutely refuse to do it on a high card. I'd sooner give them a tenner each to lift the cup. |

Tell him where to go! Potential sponsorship and prestige from being winner worth more than that. I didn't think of sponsorship so that's a valid point but haven't these dried up since black Friday? Anyone got any idea how many EPT winners from the last 12months have a sponsorship deal? Maybe EPT was a bad example on my part! Let's say something like the Monte Carlo at DTD, I believe there's a trophy and won't attract you a sponsor for winning it. Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Guy in 2nd place wants a bigger cut and he will let you have the trophy. Obviously depends on numbers but would you be happy with the principal? |

If everybody wants to chop and nobody cares about the trophy only deal if you can have the trophy. Getting a 1st place and a trophy for opening your mouth seems ok.

You've set me up massively for this, so forgive me, but since I already have a Monte Carlo trophy, I'd take the cash and 2nd place now  Sorry it had to be done. Actually knowing me, I like the glory too much, I'd still want the trophy! #shallow |
