Late entries now add up

Players don't always arrive on time. Now, when someone joins after the tournament has started, they're properly included in your chip totals and prize pool, keeping the numbers accurate no matter when they sit down.

A before and after comparison: a late entry left out of the tournament totals before, and counted after, with chips in play and prize pool rising from 1,200,000 and $3,000 to 1,350,000 and $3,375

The issue

A player joining late could sometimes be added to the tournament without being fully reflected in the numbers behind it. That meant chips in play and prize money could be understated, leaving hosts with totals that didn't quite add up.

The fix

Late entries are now counted properly from the moment they join. Chips, prize money and tournament totals update to reflect everyone in the game, so the numbers you rely on stay accurate and your payouts add up at the end of the night.
