Sound like paying 66% of today's 

Simon just said 199 players will be Paid today but the entry has gone up by another 20 players so guessing it will be more

you will need to ask at the club. i gather simon was announcing the payouts during today but as i am not there i'm not much help!

[brookie]

I'm not at the club friend got a short stack in today game and he hasn't turned up because he got a bigger stack in tomoz

[LeedsRhodesy]

The last live day 1 looks like it's going to be big

I think some people have forgotten what poker is about or meant to be.
Yes winning money is nice but it should be the icing on the cake. Playing poker should be fun and enjoyable. So yes playing day 1 for 9 hrs. Potentially playing Day 2 for 8hrs. Potentially playing Day 3 for 8 or 9 hrs might seem like a ball ache but it isn't. Your talking about 3 days of poker for an £80 outlay. You cant knock that.

I have my own opinions about why this Grand Prix has disappointed DTD in terms of turn out but this is not really the place for that discussion.

My biggest problem is the payout structure, or Lack of it. How on earth can people start a Money Bubble Bursting session without full facts and figures? Unheard of at this level.
We're talking about a $1 000 000 prize pool without a set payout structure.

iv browsed this thread for answers but found none. an unconfirmed report is 66% of todays field paid. todays field is looking to be bigger than tomorrow. so even if it is the same which is a huge doubt that's going to be just under 400 players paid. out of a possible 8k runners?

this is why the payout structure should be available for viewing.

There a facebook page all about the updates as also gone very quiet aswell  people asking questions and not getting answer's it a shame

dealing with 500+ players at the club all wanting to register, enter day 2's etc has to take priority, yes?

I agree with schmeigle about the payouts.

Surely it would be simple to put together a payout grid with a sliding scale, (which DTD did originally have) or borrow an existing one from an online site.

Working out the payouts for every tournament manually seems like a particularly stone-age system in a state-of-the-art establishment.

Pretty sure they've always done it as a % of "unique" players so 400 probably about right?

Seems like $120 satts online are increasing as seen around 4 - 5 more before Sunday day2.

[Karabiner]

It has to be said that having a day two before all of the days one have been completed definitely adds an extra degree of difficulty when it come to calculating the payouts.

[flushthemout]

I was told 12.5% of the field will be paid.
