That's crazy. I'm surprised Stars let them chop the remaining money. I thought some HAD to be left on the table... That's cool that they let them though.

Funny how they decided to determine the bracelet winner. From :

WCOOP Event #9 Results




I had this sinking feeling that I'd seen a couple of the blokes before. Sure enough, WCOOP Event #9's final table featured two people who had already made WCOOP final tables this year. Lenny and Ziggy47 were the first two players to make repeat WCOOP final table performance in 2005.

Seven-card stud is just a different game. It takes a different skill, a different mindset, and a different temperment. Even after the final two players made a deal to split the money and leave $10,000 and WCOOP bracelet to play for, the blinds stopped moving and so did the game. Finally, after they begged for so long, Lee Jones stepped in and allowed the players to chop the remaining money.

Sometimes, things happen. Remarkably enough, there are even TDA rules to handle those situations. TDA Rule 31 states "Floor people are to consider the best interest of the game and fairness as the top priority in the decision-making process. Unusual circumstances can, on occasion, dictate that the technical interpretation of the rules be ignored in the interest of fairness. The floor person's decision is final."

I find that deal strange. Maybe later this week, when I'm in that situation, I'll be able to explain his thinking. Seriously though, I consider top=notch stud players extremely smart... there is a lot of information available to them during play, and they certainly have to make the most of it. I'm not sure why he didn't try to win.

Maybe they knew each other.

after 12 hrs of play there really is no difference in 5K here or there when you already have 30K in your pocket... its really all about the bracelet at this point.

If your talking about the WSOP ME FT and 2nd is 4.5 mill and 1st is 7.5 mill 3 mill is a bigger deal than 5K (or whatever it was).
