Getting rid of the rebuy’s I think is great, it just takes too long for dealers to get each rebuy done. And not to mention it’s the only way they have money short from dealer’s screwing up and getting fired over not having the correct amount.

What’d you say? I can’t here you … I think I’ve got a bad connection. Can I call you back?

Thank you Dan.

Now it’s time to work on your blog roll…

I think they’ll need to work on this one in future WSOPs. Sounds close to really cool, but a little off. Of course I’m biased because I used to throw a big annual tourney that was a triple-chance tourney (Go Pokerati Invitational) that was a little different and therefore better.

From Seth Palansky, via Andrew Feldman at espn.com:

“Essentially like a re-buy without paying for rebuying. You’ll get a starting chip stack, and then two additional equal chip stacks to be used at any point you wish during the first two levels. So you can elect to take all three equal stacks up front, wait until you bust, add a stack anywhere in between.”

Wonder why they deleted Pot Limit Holdem $2K?

Awesome. Andrew loves being wrong.

It’s me being a nit I suppose. I did the same thing to Andrew Feldman over at espn.com.

Ahh, I see. They are counting 39 … the real number is 38.

Sorry, my bad. It’s become instinctive for me when it comes to facts, Kevin, to see yours and just ignore everything else.

Recall I noted there were 38 tournaments with a buyin of $2,500 and lower?

I don’t get it … what do you mean? Did they miscount something?

The WSOP seems to think having two day 1′s for an event (Event 4A/B) means it’s two separate tournaments.
