    WSOP Main Event Qualifier Standings | Sudden Death & Top 50

    Qualification for the WSOP Main Event Seat Giveaway is over!

    There was a 4-way from #48, #49, #50, #51:


    48 hhsilver 1550 12
    49 spurginobili 1550 11
    50 horja1 1550 7
    51 Jimmy Proffett 1550 6

    In the spirit of competition - the two with the better cash performances (hhsilver and spurgionbili) automatically qualify.

    Posters Horja1 and Jimmy Proffett will duke it out for the 50th entry in a more compelling 1 vs 1 affair on Sunday April 19th @ 3pm ET.. The unlucky fellow who gets eliminated can thank Spider & the posters who demanded a tiebreaker, thinking 40-50+ users would be tied.

    why aren't 48-51 all tied for 50th place? If you are not including hhsilver and spurginobili as tied for 50th based on their number of cashes, then horja should be in 50th based on that. otherwise, hhsilver, spur, horja and jimmy proffett should all be in the tiebreaker.

    Having 4 guys play and 3 win a seat would just be a folding blinds contest where eventually the blinds make you gamble and not skillful.

    We catered to you guys by instituting a tiebreaker in the first place. You can't please every one, we think this makes the most sense.

    Good luck!

    What would've made the most sense was using a 'cashes' tiebreaker to determine who gets the spots near 50, and then using 1st place finishes if that wasn't enough. Which would eliminate me, I understand that, but that would've been the best way.

    BUT.... you said everyone tied would play sudden death. Now that's not the case anymore by allowing the 2 with the most cashes to not have to participate. This is actually very unfair to horja.

    Now if you want to change it yet again and give 50th to horja b/c of cashes; I'm actually ok with that. It's my fault for not playing in these tournaments in the beginning months. But next time you run a tournament, get all your ducks in a row before it starts.

    jimmy, you hit the nail on the head there..... good idea for next promo that has this possibility is simply to state no tiebraker trny; rather ties settled first by no. of cashes, then first place finishes; then most no. of times aces were cracked; then kings, then whoever has the longer "i lost with ace big to ace rag" losing streak at the time

    (I know I'll have everyone dead in the water on the last three tiebraker criteria)

    since we are worried about skill being present, hopefully the blind structure/chip stacks are changed from the last promo where it became an all in fest with 15 players left.

    Guy is a fish.
    Least likely to win.

    He's just too stupid to be a good poker player.

    I'm offering a 50 point bounty to the pigeon who takes out this fish!

    waves won't go out before the break unless he gets his aces or kings cracked......

    he'll fold around, hit one hand and be at or near the very bottom of the players left at the break.....

    then, one of two things will happen: he'll win a hand with qq, and hang around another 15 minutes, or he'll lose with qq and be gone

    Hey while we are changing the rules before the big tourney, can we change them so that if you had a 1st place cash in the last 2 days you auto qualify for a seat?
    I would appreciate it.

    I would gladly wager 71k on a last longer bet with you Jay, but unfortunately two problems arise:

    1) You realize how much you suck at poker, so you would never qualify for this top 50 tourney.
    2) You're a constant broke dikk, who can't even post up a 71k bet.

    So then why bring it up.
    Your posts are becoming more & more useless.
    I'm still offering 50 points to whoever felts you.
    And trust me, I'll be paying the bounty before the 1st break!

    I agree that the tiebreaker should have been most cashes, but that is still a tough break for horja and jimmyproffit I thought that you were having a tiebreaker even if there were 20 players tied.


    All 4 people should be in the tiebreaker just like was mentioned for the past 2 weeks. First one out is eliminated. And the way you did it now really isnt fair to horja to be honest.

    Only fair way to do it is for all of them to play

    It was brought up simply to demonstrate your ignorance, for criticizing a player who made the top 50.

    As if a broke dikk like you will still have 50pts by the time tourney is played.

    SBR always in a situation in regards to "Tie-Breakers"

    Happened in the College Football Bowl Games Pick Em.

    They need to think of "ALL CASE SCENARIOS"

    I personally agree that all 1550 point totals should go to Sudden Death. (4 Players Total)

    The one who is eliminated first... they automatically go to 51st spot.

    The remaining 3 move on to the major tournament. (Cashes Should Not Matter. Don't Recall It Ever Mentioned For Tie Breakers)

    Tiebreaker should be least cashes lol or in other world 1. number of first places than if still not decided number of second places and if still somehow not decided number of third places. But would be decided already by number of first places. To me is really funny

    I mean you made new format 1st 500p, 2nd 200p, 3rd 150p, 4th 100p, 5th 50p really heavy rewarding 1st place and than at the end you decide that tie breaker with better cash performance goes to those two that cashed double times (12,11 vs 7,6) rofl.

    This is epic

    cashes was never mentioned as a tiebreaker, as far as I saw

    may as well use alphabetical order to decide it

    If I were running this tiebreaker I would have 2 heads up games winners advance then have the 2 losers play the winner of that one would advance.
