This is a Semi Final, which wins into the Grand Final (which was the Main Event).
It basically is. From the 888pl website:
$25,000 Foundation Semi Final
Every season will see the culmination of all Foundation efforts finalised in the $25,000 Foundation Semi Final.
The top 5 on each game leader board, from both Foundation Home (online) and Foundation Away (in venue) game leader boards, will qualifty for this event with $25,000 in cash and prizes.
The top 3 from the Foundation Semi Final will each win a seat into the 888PL Grand Final (valued at $500).
The tournament will be a deepstack event with T5,000 in start stacks and twenty minute blind levels, this will give all of you grinders ample time to play conservatively and build your stacks.
So really you're taking out 1500 from the $25k pool. Its still top 5 from each venue, still 5k stack with 20m levels. I look at the Foundation Semi as the old States, and the Grand Final as a brand new, spectacular ME.
