would be interesting to know if any of the final table had been knocked out in flight one.. 

The first player out of the comp came 4th.

I agree it was a fun event so i didnt mind, however had this been a normal comp i would have been unregistering from flight 2 and going home.

The players on the table i was dealing deffo knew before the end, DC himself came and told them, as he did the surrounding tables.

....anyway.....

Kudos too Tighty, glad it wont happen again! And cheers for the rest of the comp which was perfect (except my 65 failing to beat JJ)

The decision was made in the break


Tikay told my table with 2 hands remaining in the flight.

I said will that not affect the play of these last hands.

He said Yes.

Tighty, do you not think moving the BB was a mistake, surely it should have been the shortstack....

Didn't spoil things in the least for me and the rebuys as far as I am concerned were in the spirit of the occasion and I dont have the least problem with it..  I do feel for the people who were perhaps taking it a bit more seriously and those who went home without the option of a rebuy but I know the decision was made in the right spirit and think it probably made it a bit more fun for a lot more people..  Its still hats off to the guys who put in the effort as far as I am concerned

It should always be the shortstack!

a) Moving the shortstack would have involved me moving every five minutes. Not acceptable.

b) It appears I was consulted after some of you at the tables. Do you reckon Thomas Kremser gets told that late??!??!  Cheesy

seeing as i was one of the few(well many) who played the first flight and was allowed back in i feel i should comment.

first off, the players who played the 2nd flight would know that there would be a few big stacks from the first one that would be in the final, having people who donked out the first fight(me included) playing at the tables for 2nd one shouldnt be a big problem, those who busted out had the same starting chips as those who started the 2nd flight. is there an advantage? as tank said i dont think so aslong as it wasnt disclosed before the first flight ended, i myself didnt realise until the 2nd flight was about to start.

i understand the why people are abit miffed by it all , at the end of the day tho what real advantage was gained by me ( us) starting afresh? players from flight 2 had a bigger prize pool to win with the same starting chips as i had , remember this isnt an EPT event , just relised what i said there Cheesy the advantage? we had 2 chances opposed to 1! but we didnt know that at the time! im talkin bollocks now

canny be well i dunno......
