Chopping or Splitting of the Prize Pool Money & why players may choose the option – Tournament Rules:
· The reason tournament player(s) might want to Chop or Split the prize pool money is they may want to have a choice of dividing the prize pool money at an even amount or in a larger group of final players, as they feel that if they don’t make a deal to chop the money, then they might not get any money if they happen to be the next player to get knocked out of the tournament. (Example – A tournament with forty-four (44) players and a prize pool of $2,500 dollars, and if there are ten (10) player still playing on the final table, based on the payout formula above that the top seven (7) players will receive money, then the next three (3) players (Player(s) number(s) ten (10), nine (9) and eight (8)) to get knocked out will not receive any money, but if those final ten (10) players decide to chop or split the prize pool money and end the tournament at that moment then everyone at the final table will receive a payout.)
Tournament payouts are pre-set:
· If no players ask(s) or want to organize a chopping or splitting of the prize pool money then the tournament continues on until the payouts are completed as pre-determined above (see Prize Structure chart).
· If some player(s) ask or want to organize a chopping or splitting of the prize pool money, but if any one (1) of the final player(s) decides that they do not wantto chop or spilt the prize pool money, then the tournament continues on until the payouts are completed as pre-determined above (see Prize Structure chart).
· Here are all of the rules that will apply when players decide to chop or split the prize pool money:
1. When players decide to make a chop or split of the prize pool monies they may agree to chop or split the amount of money evenly or give more money to some players and or any player they determine to do so based on their chips in play and what the remaining players agree upon. All chop(s) or split deal(s) are witnessed and then approved by the Poker Floor Supervisor (or above) before any deal can be finalized. The Poker Floor Supervisor (or above) does not make the deals for the player, but they ensure that the deal is paid out correctly by what the player(s) agreed upon. All players must agree on the deal to make a deal approved.
2. Based on the number of players that entered the tournament, the final tournament players cannot decide to chop the prize pool or split the money until they are seatedat the final table) in their pre-determined spot(s). (Example – if there were 44 players that entered into a tournament with a prize pool of $2,500 and the prize pool payout structure calls for the top 7 players to win money (as shown above), then only until they get to 10 players (which is the final table number of players) or less could the remaining player(s) decide/agree to make a deal and chop or split the prize pool money).
3. Once a chop or split has been agreed upon there cannot be a second chop or split for a different portion of money left over. (Example – If the final ten (10) players wanted to chop or split the prize pool money ((Example of $2,500 of prize pool money)), as the example above, but they wanted to chop or split only some of the money (((Split only $200 each for the 10 players = $2,000, leaving $500 left over))) and play for the rest of the money(((meaning the last player would win the last $500))), then they cannot do that.) Only one (1) chop or split per tournament.
If knocked out of the tournament, the poker player that beats them gets the pre-determined dollar amount below:
