Default Weekly round 2 at Poker Stars

If you make the final table at a daily freeroll or of a tournament with a $5 entry fee or less you get a seat in the Weekly Round 2 freeroll game where they put $500 in the pot and divide it up according to standard payout rules. Now you only get a seat in this game by winning it, you can't buy in, though you would never know that by the way they play! Seriously, how did these morons make it to a final table, I would say most couldn't find a final table with a map, compass and tour guide. After the first hour my favorite has to be the guy who called a capped pot on the flop and turn when I had 88 and another guy had 22 with a flop of 2-8-4 rainbow, 3 on the turn and a 5 on the river, of course he had AK to make a straight and run down both sets, but thats just a horrible play. I bet a pot the whole way with AK and a board of rags and 3 on the turn, guy called me the whole way with 2-6, WTF? Of course he catches a 6 on the river, but it's still funny.

Who let these guys in? If it was for big money I would probably have had my chat revoked bu now, but it's a freeroll, I guess you have to expect this kind

This is why I stopped playing the monster tournaments at Stars (the 1000+ tourneys on the Microgaming sites are similar).

I wouldn't be playing except I placed 9th in a $5 buy in Hi/Lo game and since it was only $5 and not $5+.50 you get a seat and I figured why waste it. Apparently about half the field didn't feel the same way as most of the seats are sitting out. The play is atrocious considering these are all people who made a final table.
