Nine winners have been named in the $500 Super Seniors event, and that's because all nine final tablists decided to chop.
The $330 buy-in event, available for players 60 and older, drew 153 entrants with a prize pool of $50,490. It was set to pay the winner $13,750.
Instead, the nine final tablists flattened out the payouts to see chip leader Phillip Murphy taking the lion's share of $6,088. Others who got in on the chop include Michael Mathers (2nd - $5,832) and Lawrence Zerolnick (3rd - $5,591).
When news of the nine-way chop reached the $600 Opener final table, Justin Arnwine claimed that he predicted that very result.
"It's 9 p.m., time for bed!" Arnwine laughed.
