Unfortunately, after 45 mins to get from 10 players to 9, I busted out 9th

Chip leader called my A9 with 38os and caught

oh well, 9/1200

9/1200 - A very well played tournament.

going hand to hand just for final table never seen any system go hand in hand unless money cut or higher money cut. By the way way to go on your 9th and good luck in the next one.

I wouldn't have had a problem with hand-to-hand....this was we play one whole hand, then go to pause while youplay one whole hand, then you pause while we play....etc.

If they start them both and then just wait for both to finish before starting the next one, that doesn't add TOO much time to the game, but this DOUBLED it!

That's one of the strangest systems I've heard about. Especially when its only for the final table, and still five spots away from the money.

I'm all for hand for hand.
Let's say they pay out top 48 and 53 are left sitting at tables like so:
9 persons 9 persons 8 Persons 9 Persons 9 Persons 9 Persons

Wouldn't you hate to not be playing hand for hand if you were at the 8 person table?

we all get why they do that but they where going hand in hand 4 spots before the money I guess thats kinda close but most systems with only 10 players left will wait till 7 at least (2 away from money) to go to hand to hand.

Why would you go hand to hand when there's only one table left?
