multiple seats?

[chrisc7 0]

What happens if someone wins multiple seats to either a semifinal level of one of the seat qualifiers or actually to the final table to be held in a brick and mortar casino? Would they receive extra starting chips, would they be able to transfer the entry, would one less person just be at the semifinal level or final table or would the 2nd place finisher just go instead? Just curious because it seems like something that could very possibly happen with the small fields that are being seen in some of the qualifiers. ThanksChris

I deleted my post after noticing that the question had already been asked. I understand that it's very unlikely that one person will win two of the final table seats, but I'd still like to know how the situation would be handled if it comes up.

Hi Chris, how it will be handled will be different for the Grand Prize Final Table and the semi finals. In a Semi-Final if somebody wins multiple seats it means that less players will be in that semi-final. The seats aren't transferable so you couldn't assign the extra seat to somebody else. For example if somebody won two of the High Roller tournaments then there would be 9 at that semi-final table and not 10.For the Grand Prize Final Table we'll have 10 players even if one player won 2 semi-finals. The extra seat would be filled by a 2nd place finisher from one of the tournaments that the player who won two semi-finals won. If we're faced with that unlikely scenario we'll come up with a fair and equitable method to determine who gets the extra seat.
