good evening to you all. Recently I played in a pot limit Omaha online tournament on intertops poker. There was four people left in the tournament. And it only paid out three spots it was $100 guaranteed show first-place guy $50 second-place guy 30 and third-place got 20. There was a hand that I was not involved in and the guy took out the other person there was three players left. There was 38 minutes left of late registration but because there was only three people left and no one entered before the elimination happen they automatically shutdown registration and they just put the tournament on running my question to you or maybe two questions is one has this ever happened to you and to should that they be allowed to do that what do you think.

If tournament gets itm before late reg ends they always close late reg online. Though playing live once I was playing and last hand before break which ended late reg (at end of break) we were already itm and guy gets eliminated for min cash But had to sit around through break to make sure no one else registered before it was official and he could collect

No it has not happened to me, but I'm sure it would have been in the rules.

Quote from pokerstars Tournament Rules
"Late Registration is available in most tournaments. The length of the late registration period varies, but will always be shown in the tournament ticket in the Quick Seat lobby, in the details panel of the Tournament tab, and in the header of the Tournament lobby for that tournament. Late registration time is measured in clock time (as opposed to tournament play time). For example, if a tournament starts at 09:00 and has 90 minutes of late registration, registration will close at 10:30. Late registration will close early if enough players are eliminated to begin payouts."

on 888 it happens every evening in the LVL 20 tournament. It is part of the strategy for many players to log in as late as possible, and early enought before the paid places rise to 771 and latereg closes. Real fun sports lol:reddy:

Very odd. Never heard of that one before. At least you were in the money then so there is a positive aspect.

I do not know any case in my poker history that matches up what you are telling us. Maybe I did not pay so much attention to the late registrations. Thanks for your share. :D

It is an odd situation. I've never seen it happen, but I think they did the right thing closing the registration, it's only fair.

I have seen this. Once the money spots are hit the tournament stopped registering new players. This happened during the ACR freebuy series. There were options to rebuy and add on as well and those options were also unavoidable once the ITM was reached.

Well at least it is not a glitch in the system, as this scenario is included in the PokerStars rules, so there's no risk of having your winnings taken away.

It has never happened to me personally, but I would love to see it several times lol.

Late night at iPoker network... Rocket SNGs for 1-5Euro tickets. 20cents buy-in, 3 placed paid w 1eur tickets, 6 players to start the trny, 12 minutes of late registration. 4 players go all-in in the first hand, one of them wins, tournament is over, 3 players get 1euro tickets . Every day... late night.

Ive never seen that, but it seems like the right thing to do. I wouldnt want to play my way into the money, then somebody register late and knock me back out of the money.
