Why? To many people are playing this kind of tournament?
I'm guessing those ones I mentioned are being clawed back to pay for the added $8k.
By my count, the elimination and reduction of those games I mentioned add up to $19,600 over 4 weeks.
The $8k is once a month and the one I'm not sure of is the level 60+ $6k, which falls on Wednesday and may be taking the place of the $1k that was eliminated. It's unclear if the 6k is still once a month or if it's now once a week.
If it's once a week it's actually a net gain as they will have added $32,000 in total poker club value (-$19,600 = a net gain of $12,400).
If the $6k is still once a month there's an overall lessening of value (-$11,600).
That's based on if you are already level 100+, anyone below that has definitely lost value. I'm at 80+ and gained the $8k, but lost the $10k as well as the lesser value in the lower games.
