After getting down to approximately 50 players in the 18k Guarantee, Full Tilt decided to lock up. I don't think i've ever been more pissed bubbling a final table. Only 36 players were supposed to be paid. Instead, all players still alive were paid based on their chip stacks. I was at a table full of weaklings with a nice stack and ended up with 10th place money according to their monkey math.

Ouch that sucks. Who knows what might happen, but I see that first pays more than %5K.
You suck they probably saved you from flaming out early.
That suck. MOOB! Same thing would happen if Hoy and Mookie ever were one of the last three players on the Mookie.
Keep grinding away and you'll hit the jackpot soon.
Damn Doom switch!
I know how you feel. Sucks!
