    I've been at table 73 for 3 hours and 12 minutes. It was my original table and it has yet to break. Not a single person left either (obvious brag). Its just weird, I don't remember ever being at a single table for so long. Anyone have some crazy stories about their original table turning into the FT or something like that?

    Obviously...
    Someone's original table turns into the FT every tournament that runs on stars.

    They likely aren't at it though... like if I bust then none of the original table 73ers will be at table 73 etc etc.

    I'd be willing to bet any amount of $ that in one of the hundreds of thousands of tourneys that has run on stars someone has stayed at there original table the entire tournament and won....

    in the UB 1am 6 handed i had the same table start to finish(well final table i got 6th) and even better, i had one of the guys i started with with me...thats probably part of what it takes to keep it so long. its a relatively small tourney however, with only around 130 people.

    about a month ago in a stars 650 wsop qual, i was at my starting table until we got our seats. i think one of the other original players was there the whole time too, if not it was almost the whole time.

    being at the same table all tourney would be a disadvantage wouldn't it, The best one could hope for is to have 9x the starting stack which would put you at a chip disadvantage once the table breaks. Sure your chances of cashing are better, but your chance to win is pretty much shot once the table breaks.

    from the original level 1 table until it went down to 14 players (about 4 hrs)
    and then we were back again at the FT. Three players all starting at the
    same table out of 1002. That was freaky.

    I know you are referring to online play, but last year I was moved a few hours into Day 2 of the WSOP Main Event. The players at my 2nd table of the day (5th of the tourney) all seemed very famaliar with each other and were joking aournd with each other. I got to talking to them and 7 of the players at the table had played the entire Day 1 and Day 2 together. I guess the TD didn't shuffle the cards to well when they did the redraw for Day 2.

    Back on party poker, was seated at Table 1 in a 1500 player turbo and I final tabled. While I think it was less than 3 hours, I did make it through a 1500 player event without moving. And if I recall, someone else from my original table made it as well.
