But the players are moving tables a fair bit now as the exits continue.
However, It is taken from the prizepool so that's the obligation, the only consideration is whether % is carried over or investors are paid out.
In truth, I started that thread as I had been discussing the matter privately with a friend, & so I wanted to demonstrate the various views & opinions.
I do a lot of staking (buying action in others) but I've never had any disputes, as I only stake people I trust implicitly & who I know will act properly. I don't even mind whether the "follow-on" is included or not, as long as I know in advance, & I can make my decision based on that.
In the case of the 6 Max Mini, if we don't get the follow-on action, we are, in effect, paying quite a big mark up. (I generally only buy at "spot").
But some staking is different, its not about numbers or money, it's about kinship with friends, & having a fun sweat, or vicarious interest in something I can't play.
Short & sweet, as was your reply.
Firstly, Ryan, who had been dribbling a bit (at this stage, they are often 4 or 5 handed, so it gets expensive to sit still) doubles up.....
But then, just when you thought everything was going so well......
He plays A-10 in a most peculiar limp/raised pot.
It comes Q-5-4, but he continues, as you do.
The turn came a Jack, Matey Boy bet, Ryan, with his airball plus gutterball re-raised, & matey Boy came along.
The river was the ultimate gin card, an offsuit King.......
But wait......
Matey Boy had also done a.....
....as the poor fella had 9-10, for the bad end of the straight.
Good job THAT was not online!
So Ryan, who returned today with just 105,000, is now north of 3 milion, & right up with the Chip Leaders.
Chuffed to bits for him. There are few nicer or more genuine people in poker, honestly.
Ryan is FLYING.

Some of the stacks are mountainous now, & the blue 100,000 denom chips are on play.
Folks such as Ryan, Stu Fox, Wadey, are all experienced at this late stage play, & they'll be a right handful now.
Stu Fox is probably over 4 milly now.
Someone just tried to make a move on Wadey. Generally, that's not to be advised. And so it proved.

There are so many possible answers to this one.
Mr Smith needs to be honest with everyone first, & explain the mess he has inadvertently caused.
Have to say, have enjoyed this thread today, with all sorts of follks popping up with random questions.
Don't be shy, keep them coming.
When the Main Event starts on Tuesday, it'll be Tighty & his regular valet Photos, & you don't want THAT, do you?
If they win, they remain anonymous.
Some tours ask each player to fill in forms before playing waiving the right to anonymity, if they refuse to sign they don't play
Sky/SPT/UKPC don't, currently
Might just happen - Mr Anon is currently chip leader.
PS - This is NOT him, it's just a likeness.
The PLO cash? Don't go there. I say, DON'T GO THERE.
We were playing 4/5/6, mostly 5 or 6. Don't think I hit a set, house or made a flush in 2 days. It was incred. It goes that way sometimes, just have to sit there, grin & bear it. Was a good game to sit in, too, only 1 or 2 tough spots, but I could not get anything going. Quite frustrating, as I rarely get the chance to play 4/5/6 Omaha Cash, & the game was not silly, it was affordable.
Anyway, I'll give it a miss tonight & follow the Mini to it's conclusion.
Thanks for reminding me. Mate.......;)
