I’ve started hearing some rumblings regarding the claim that the Big50 is rake free. The posted advertisement claims your initial entry is 100% rake free. Any rebuys are raked at $435/65.

The issue is day 1 payouts are posted and the prizepool shows exactly $435 for every entry. The money has been made and a lot of people paid out already.

Druff or anyone else with WSOP insight, can you explain or elaborate how it all works? I can’t image The WSOP lied about it being rake free. But it’s confusing how the payouts are decided upon and possibly adjusted later?
