    J.C. Alvarado is playing in today event and is still alive in the $5,000 Mixed Hold'em tournament. He moved in the last of his chips against Eli Elezra...then raced off to play a hand in the $5,000 Mixed event. When he returned he found that his lost to Elezra's when Elezra spiked a king on the river. "So sick!" Alvarado shouted...and then returned to the $5,000 Mixed event.

    I'm kind of surprised they allowed him to do this. He is obv out of the rebuy now but I think he has a decent stack in the Mixed event. Can you imagine the chaos if there were a large number of players doing this. gl in the Mixed event PrtyPSux. TID!

    They make more money by allowing people to play more tables. So obv they dont care if ppl do this since it wont slow down the action anyway.

    Whats the rule on this? If you're not in your seat when the deal is finished or when the action is up to you it's a instamuck. Almost the same as the sitting out button online. They just want more money. It's not like they make an annoucement over the loudspeaker "Mr. Johnson please return to table 156, the action is on you".

    I've been casually following the updates on pokernews.com and have noticed that many players are competing in both the $1000 Rebuy and $5000 Mixed Event. Guys like JC Alvarado and David Benyamine have been either running back and forth (more likely Alvarado than Benyamine) or sitting out in the rebuy tournament.

    My question is how does each players Ev factor? Do they risk/spend a lot during rebuy hour to build a big enough stack to sit out and play the mixed event? If so, is the return really that high? Do they figure that even though they are missing hands that being entered in both events with significant prize pools is enough justification? Will we see players playing multiple events simultaneously that are not rebuys?

    We should've guessed that David Benyamine didn't come back from the lunch break because he was still playing in the $5,000 Mixed Hold'em event. He just busted from that tournament and he's returned to his seat in this event.

    Sup, tak3ov3r, how ya been?

    I don't think it's against the rules since the organizers are still getting their money, ya know? If players have the money to do that, they can do what they want. I think about Ivey and his prop bets on him winning bracelets. He's playing every event he can, and if he has a stack in one, he doesn't mind getting anted off in another for a few levels. Although I think it is pretty crap that ppl are running off in between hands to dif tables, it does add to the excitement of WSOP.

    BTW, from someone who has never been to WSOP, staying at the Rio is pretty sick seeing all these pros, online and live, just walking through the halls. PM a fellow mid staker if you're at the Rio, I'm staying with Patrolman35, the donk himself.

    nah, theyre just gambling. Maybe a couple of them are actually making more money this way, but if they're that good they are better off playing other (cash) games.

    So, either way, live multitablers are playing suboptimally (i.e. bad).
