Bemærk, at en betydelig del af disse spillere måske ikke engang vidste, at turneringen blev forlænget. Jeg vidste det kun, fordi jeg var proaktiv med at gå til chat. Alligevel havde 90 % meningsfulde resultater. For det andet ville dette tidsrum have svaret til torsdag mellem kl. 12.00 og 2.00 EST. Denne liste ville indebære en masse virkelig dedikeret konkurrence, især i de nederste dele af ranglisten, hvor præmierne var mindre. Efter min tankegang ville et godt antal spillere i top 20 sandsynligvis have ramt et naturligt stoppunkt et sted i de første 72 timer af turneringen, hvor de ville være løbet ind i et af de 2 scenarier, jeg beskrev tidligere. De ville ikke spille de sidste 2 timer, fordi de ikke ville have nogen motivation til at gøre det. Endelig, hvis du dissekerer de faktiske dollarbeløb, rejser de spørgsmål. Spillerne i top 4 kunne kun have opnået deres score ved at satse én vej den sidste dag. Det ville have været at gå 100% hele dagen. Deres sidste dagsresultater ville kræve et gennemsnitligt tempo på omkring 330K i timen, og det er, hvis de spillede lige igennem siden kl. 06.00. I stedet var resten af top 4 i gennemsnit omkring 145K i timen i denne periode. Disse sidste 2 timer rykkede mig bekvemt op en rang. Efter at have læst ovenstående e-mail besluttede jeg, at jeg ikke ville spille flere turneringer, fordi jeg ikke længere stolede på TIV. Jeg rapporterede ikke straks mine mistanker, fordi jeg havde en enorm saldo at indsamle og regnede med, at det kunne bringe den i fare.
Et sidste punkt. Jeg har skrevet offentligt om dette for at forfine min præsentation til en klage. Jeg har ikke fået noget skub tilbage med hensyn til min begrundelse, men det er ikke min takeaway. Jeg indså, at jeg ville få en TLDR-reaktion fra de fleste mennesker, men min virkelige takeaway er, at ingen synes at bekymre sig om denne casinogruppe overhovedet. Jeg tror, at dette forstærker, at de ikke har nogen steder i nærheden af den pulje af spillere, der kræves for at opstille de resultater, de rapporterer (især da jeg har fået over 13.000 visninger).
Endelige ledertavler. Ikke relevant information, men jeg har inkluderet for afsløringens skyld, og fordi fordelingen af scoring er i overensstemmelse med den uregelmæssige karakter af tidligere turneringer.

Note that a significant swath of these players may not even have known the tournament was extended. I knew only because I was proactive in going to chat. Yet, 90% had meaningful outputs. Secondly, this time period would have corresponded to Thursday between 12 am and 2 am EST. This list would imply a lot of truly dedicated competition, especially in the lower parts of the leader board where the prizes were smaller. By my way of thinking, a good number of players in the top 20 would probably have hit a natural stopping point somewhere in the first 72 hours of the tournament where they would have run into one of the 2 scenarios I described earlier. They wouldn't play the final 2 hours because they would have no motivation to do so. Finally, if you dissect the actual dollar amounts, they raise questions. The players in the top 4 could have only gotten their scores by wagering one way the final day. That would have been to go 100% all day. Their final day scores would require an average pace of about 330K an hour and that's if they played straight through since 6:00 am. Instead, the rest of the top 4 averaged about 145K an hour during this period. Conveniently, these final 2 hours moved me up a rank. After reading the above email, I decided I would play no further tournaments because I no longer trusted TIV. I did not immediately report my suspicions because I had a huge balance to collect and figured doing so could jeopardize it.
One final point. I have posted publicly about this in order to refine my presentation for a complaint. I haven't gotten any push back as to my reasoning, but that is not my takeaway. I realized I would get a TLDR reaction from most people, but my real takeaway is that no one seems to care about this casino group at all. I think this reinforces that they do not have anywhere close to the pool of players required to put up the scores they are reporting (especially since I have gotten over 13,000 views).
Final Leader Boards. Not pertinent info but I've included for sake of disclosure and because the distribution of scoring conforms to the irregular nature of previous tournaments.
