It was that article that caused me to write this application. The results match those produced by the Independent Chip Model, which is mentioned in the article Amir Lehavot Selling Action For World Series Of Poker Main Event Final Table. The program uses nine nested loops to determine the probability each player finishing in each place. Except once a player is knocked out, he is permanently out. The math is the same as if it were a coin flipping tournament, where chips are transferred between players randomly. Methodology: I assume all players are of equal skill. The program will calculate the probability of each player finishing in each possible position, as well as his expected share of the prize pool. Do not skip positions, or you will get nonsensical results. It calculates the odds of every possible outcome in seconds. For example, if there are five players, fill in stack amounts for players 1 to 5 only.
