Min-cash Lesser Than The Buy-in At WSOP? Error Or Solution?

Often you must have seen in poker tournaments that the min-cash offered is always higher than the buy-in amount of that event. It is either marginally higher or in some cases even double or more. But have you come across a situation where the min-cash was lesser than the buy-in? It is very rare or rather impossible that this happens.

But such a rare incident recently happened at a tournament. And it wasn’t just any other tournament, it was a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet event. Four-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus took to Twitter to share this one-of-a-kind incident. “What’s up with these WSOP bracelet event payouts today. Buy-in 3,200 min-cash 2,300🤔” (sic) he wrote. 

Have a look at his tweet:

The tweet attracted mixed reactions from Twitter users. One user by the name Andrew Barber wrote, “It actually solves some bubble problems. I think it’s a clever solution.” To this Ausmus replied “Ya I’ve considered this also, it would really help bubbles.  But most players complained a lot when they paid more of field and smaller mincash.  Don’t think that’s what many people want.”

No one is ever happy.

Some users lauded the move calling it a ‘great to avoid bubble’ and ‘nicely done.’

Ah the good ol 40% payout structure very nicely done.

Is paying greater than 33% of the field normal? The last 3(!) payout brackets are less than entry…

Seems great to avoid bubbles? Start at $100 and go up by $100 increments so people just play.

Some users also called it ‘old school’ and ‘horrible.’

That’s was horrible payout structure paying 36% of the field 20% fine but 36%?!?!

That’s old school

One user also pointed out that paying 36 players out of 93 entries also sounded unbelievable. 

Thats very strange

We wonder if it was an error or a deliberate move by WSOP to give the top finishers more value. Let us know what you think.
