Gus Blows the WPT Championship

[Talking Poker]

He means with even stacks, I suspect.

But 84% of the chips is only 5.25:1. Depending on the structure, the first all in might be automatic for both players, and if the shorty doubles up there, he's now only about a 2:1 dog. Double up again and he's got the chip lead.

84% sounds like a lot, but it's really not that much. Or, I guess a better way to look at it would be that 16% of the chips is more than you might think.

This is a good example of why when people make deals at the end of a tourney, the short stack usually takes a deal he shouldn't... or the big stack thinks he deserves more than he really does. HU, things can change dramatically FAST.
