    It will be interesting because there will be a ton of chips in play (3k rebuys and 5k add on) but there will also be a ton of people who don't even make it to the first break, and/or don't even add on (satty winners).

    I think that alone is too much of a factor to make any sort of educated guess.

    I havent commented yet regarding these 20+ hour tournies. I am not of a strong opinion one way or another naturally. However, I think some of the top players out there (the ones that dont care about cheating) are going to let their freinds take over for a couple of hours, lets say 4-8am and then get sleep and be rested for going deep, which is obv an unfair advantage, while those that go deep have to play for high stakes on no sleep. That is my issue, I would love for stars to be super strict about allowing 1 account to be signed on from one place, and then another. If theres no way to do that, that's when I think you really have to consider 2 day events. (Even if we're looking at only top X% coming back where x is real small, i still think it will establish a much higher degree of fairness.)

    So, if the pool winds up with over 1k people in it. What is your estimate on total tourney time. I def don't think it will be over 10 hours.

    30 minute levels. Twice the amount of chips. 6-7 times the normal amount of entrants. A million dollar prizepool.

    I'd say 18 hours. My prediction is 9:13 a.m.

    I looked up last year and it ran 11 1/2 hours. I change my guess to 14 hours.

    prediction: anyone who is overly concerned with how long the event will last before the event even starts will NOT do well.

    I was just trying to get an idea if I'd be able to play or not. It's def a no for me. There is no way I can function that long as I start my day at 5:00am. LOL
