    Silly, insignificant question - but one I'm curious about nonetheless.

    If you could win either the $200r or Sunday 2nd Chance, which would you rather win? Is it more of an achievement to get through a field of ~300, with a very high concentration of top online pros, or weaving your way through almost 1300 people?

    Of course, the payout at the end is pretty similar (both were ~54K today).

    lol you dont think the 2nd chance doesnt have a high percentage of top online pros??? We nick named the 2nd chance , the plank, tourney. They are both worthy of serious respect.

    Definitely - it's still littered with the top guys. It's just that all of those guys concentrated into a ~300 player field means you're likely to encounter more of them/have more at your table (especially as you get deeper) than in a ~1300 player field.

    2nd chance, for sure. Much more difficult to win the 2nd chance than the 200r. Also, every single player that plays the 200r is also playing the 2nd chance. If the prize is exactly the same, I'd rather win the 2nd chance.

    The payout may be the same, but the investment isn't.

    $200+Rebuy = $615+

    FWIW - I think the $200r hold just a little more prestige.

    2nd chance is a lot more PLB points for the rankings too.
