It looks like you're already running away with this one! I think you and the other high-roller should have paced yourselves so that more people weren't intimidated into avoiding the game. In the end, I think it would have benefitted you to have a full field of pool players who were all invested so that winning actually meant winning money. As it is, it looks like you and the other high-flux fella are going to split the pot, meaning you're basically just getting back what you put in. 🤷‍♂️
