The drama began far sooner than the final table commenced, as things got a little testy near the money bubble when Matthew Marafioti complained to tournament officials about the payout structure. Marafioti was upset that less than 10 percent of the field was being paid, and he petitioned for more than just the final eight players to walk away with some cash. After relentless pressure, the chip leaders finally gave in and agreed to alter the structure so that 11 players would make the money. Marafioti was eliminated in 12th place.
This cracked me up. First because I could see myself trying to negotiate a deeper payout, but secondly because it would be my luck that the same thing would happen.
