Double Guarantee Week on Full Tilt-PLO Final Table

Final tabled the nightly PLO on Full Tilt last night. The double guarantee week is creating HUUUUUUGE prize pools this week in virtually all the tournaments and this event is no exception. Normally this event has ~6k in prize money with 230-250 entrants. Last night there were 488 entrants creating a prize pool of over $11,700. First place paid nearly 3k compared to the $1.4k when I won this event in November. As another point of reference the 50/50 paid over $25k to first in an event that normally only pays about $11-12k. Crazy shite.

As an added wrinkle FTP now allows multiple entries into the same tournament. So a player could have up to 4 entries in the event and conceivably cash n all 4 attempts. Eventually their stacks would get merged if there were fewer tables remaining than their # of entries. So if a player had 2 entries still and reached the final table the 2 stacks would be merged into 1 for that player and the merged stack would automatically receive 9th place money.

Anyway I played on 2 entries last night to give it a try. First entry busted about #100 but second I went deep to the final table. Eventually busting 5th for ~$800.
Annoying especially since big stack and ultimate winner was dreadful.

Might play again tonight but we'll see.

Also WSOP schedule was released on Monday and has some interesting changes this year. I'm still going over it to figure out which events I want to play and thus time my trip.
