How are the chip count payout amounts calculated?
A player's chip count payout is based on the number of chips that a player has and the remaining available prize pool. The calculation is a standard poker calculation for payouts based on the current chip count in the tournament. The calculation is as follows:
• c (# chips) = number of chips that a player has
• TC (# Chips) = total number of chips currently in the tournament
• R ($ amount) = remaining prize pool
• NP ($ payout) = the payout that the next player eliminated will receive
• GP ($ payout) = the payout that the player would get if the game ended immediately
• n (# players) = number of players remaining in the tournament
• $ Chip Count Deal Payout = [NP+[R–(n*NP)]*(c/TC)]
For example: Remaining Prize Pool = $570 Player Chips Count Deal Payout:
1 [57+[570-(5*57)]*(15000/43500)] = $155.28
2 [57+[570-(5*57)]*(12000/43500)] = $135.63
3 [57+[570-(5*57)]*(10000/43500)] = $122.52
4 [57+[570-(5*57)]*(6000/43500)] = $96.32
5 [57+[570-(5*57)]*(500/43500)] = $60.28
