Online day 1s of live events.
Can someone explain to me how these work?
This is the structure for a big event happening over the next few months.
Day 1 online : starting stack 5000 top 10% go through to day 2 live with the same stack they have got from day 1 online.
Day 1 live: starting stack 50000 top 10% go through to live event with same stack they got from day 1 live.
Lets say both days get 100 runners so the average stacks when both get down to 10 players will be :
Online = [100 x 5000 ] /10 = 50,000
Live = [100 x 50000] /10 = 500,000
The online events blinds are 1/10th of the live ones and roughly half the length but that doesn't change the actuall chips in play so there is no way you can amass the same amount online as you could live.
I may have missed something here or just totally got my maths wrong but can anyone explain how this can be right?

I don't know about the event mentioned above but for the Monte Carlo event at DtD they had live as well as online day 1's. They had the same starting stack but shorter online blind levels. The % of players that got through each day was pretty much exactly the same and the top stacks were also similar so it is something that works.
