[Geschlossen] Live Ticker: PokerStars.com Caribbean Adventure High Roller

Still hand for hand on the bubble in the side event.
Here's PokerStrategy member Philbort, also playing the High Roller:

Pokernoob already lost quite a big pot.

The board was 7:sQ:s9:h3:s
The pot is about 13.5k
Pokernoob on the SB checks and villain on MP1 checks behind.

River 6:s
Now Pokernoob bets out 12k
Villain calls

Pokernoob mucks
Villain wants to muck as well but someone asks to see his hand.
Dealer tells villain to show, who shows the 8:s

The blind structure is a bit weird indeed.

Daniel Negreanu said:

I think players are really going to enjoy what we did with the structure. We are starting the blinds at 150-300 and leaving them there for four levels with 50,000 in chips. Rather than starting at 50-100, starting out higher and leaving it there actually creates a tournament with much more MEANINGFUL play.

So blind levels are:
150/300
150/300
150/300 with 50 ante
150/300 with 50 ante

I wonder what our players are thinking about this...

In the german stream George Danzer just said a few minutes ago, that he likes the new structure very much, because now you can really play a few hours with a good stacksize (100bb-150bb) and there should be a lot of action, while with the old structure the first hour with 300bb there was no action at all, because people were just too deep.
I think he's got a point.
