with your decision to chop the club tourney. If I had been in that position, I would have done exactly the same thing. The gap in prize money from 1st to 6th was alot of $$$$$. You can't compare it to one of our Wednesday night poker games because the stakes were so much higher. As Gene & others have noted, "chops" happen all of the time at final tables.

And I have also said that I disagreed with the decision to "chop" the last man standing pot...that pot of money was for fun (just like our Wednesday night tourneys) and in my opinion, should have been played out to the end. It's a dead issue, Brian, and in no way diminishes the accomplishments of you or any of the other final table players. Many congrats to you and the other players...I certainly do envy you all!! Bedo
