I like the idea of poker tourney with a 200K pot for only $10, but 20,000 people with 10 min levels. This thing could take until tommorow to finish.

I would think a hell of alot longer than that.

With 3k chips times 20k people and 10min blinds, the blinds would not go up near fast enough for a game that fast.

I would guess 12 to 14 hours at least.

Just don't play one of the 'Deep Stacks' tournaments. They take FOREVER.

Well with alot of people, they dont take NEAR as long as you may think. Keep in mind that you have more tables, and thus as the blinds get a little higher, you have people shortstacked all over the place. I think that it normally takes around 11 hours to complete.

But you can make the money in around 2-2:30 hours since 20% of the field gets paid, not the normal 9%.


But the final 100 players can take around 4 hours

well it says full at 20,000 which is ridiculous to begin with, but i guess people are constantly unregestering as it randomly drops to 19999 or 98 but i cant register, sucks.

The blinds quit going up after 6 hrs at 200k/400k w 40k ante. there are 6 million chips in play. aint no way you can play 6 hrs with 6 million chips putting in a million every 9 hands.
Id be shocked if somebody showed me where this tourny ever took over 8 hours......

10 min levels makes a whole different ballgame..
