Not a good day for Party Poker

[FunkSoulBrother]

Their "Million Dollar Guaranteed" tournament went off about 30 minutes ago, and after a month of pushing players to get bonus chips for this huge $640/40 buyin tourney, they start everyone with the same amount--1,000 chips.

I have a friend who played upwards of 3-4 thousand raked hands just to earn a couple hundred bonus chips for this tourney. Some played the full 10,000. There are a lot of pissed off people and its too late to change anything as the tourney is running and people have busted already.

As usual, while having a problem on their site, the PartyPoker Live Chat feature is down.

It will be interesting to watch and see how events transpire.

Now, almost an hour in, it sounds like PP will restart the tournament and void the results of this last hour

But what of those who have 4K stacks right now?

Even more, what of those who busted and logged off in disgust in the first half hour?

What a mess.. heh.

that does totally suck FSB...good luck to you Sir in the restart

Not in it Dante just watching a friend play.

I'm thinking the only way for PP to save face is to void everything, give everyone back 640 and NOT have another one without a due amount of time for people to be notified... i.e not today.
