In a weekly tournament with a guaranteed prize pool in $750'000 (buy-in: $200 + $15) in the popular online poker room - Poker Stars a record number of players took part - 5506, thus the prize fund amounted to over $ 1 million.
With such a large number of participants, a problem arose. The thing is that the software only had a template for payouts for 5000 or fewer players. As a matter of urgency, the programmers worked on updating the software, and only after 3 hours, the players were able to see who how much, and, starting from which places, will receive cash prizes.
