And Instant Controversy

We've heard him vocalizing his dislike for the payouts for several days now, literally every few orbits or so. Just before dinner, he was once again looking for EPT host Neil Johnson. "I mean, where is that guy?!" Marafioti said, spinning his head around the room. "We have the Main Event final table, and the final two tables in the High Roller, and I haven't seen him for days."
Well, it appears the two have found each other. Returning from the break, Marafioti is currently polling his table about whether or not they would be in favor of bumping the payouts to give cash to the top twelve. Neil Johnson suddenly appeared with a new breakdown of the prize pool, and they're still talking it over. There is not much support from the remainder of the field right now, and the big holdout is big stack Olivier Busquet who wants to take a good long look at the top-twelve structure. You can't blame him; Busquet is the commanding chip leader with nearly 900,000 chips right now -- well over 100 big blinds. And there's potentially €1 million in his sights.
We'll let you know if there's any movement on that from the players.
