wpt global tournament paused on bubble and restarted with antes different.

was playing the tourney last night and it got paused on the bubble for like 30 minutes. when it finally restarted, i noticed the antes were totally off, higher than before the pause, but the blinds only went up by one level. i double-checked and my stack took a bigger hit from the antes right away. i kept trying to figure if i missed something but others in chat were saying the same thing. kinda threw off the short stack shove math for a bit and i was already planning my move for the bubble. weird to get that kind of blind structure shift mid-play.

in live games, i always watch for mistakes like this, but online it’s wild cause you can’t double-check with the floor and get an answer. anyone else see something like this? does the pause mess with the software, or is there some rule i’m missing where they can hike the antes on a bubble restart? i like to keep my play steady but this messed with my usual risk calcs.

Yeah, "like 30 minutes" is the part that bugs me. I’ve misread an ante jump before on a crypto casino skin, but half an hour is clown shoes

Ngl that smells like a restart bug, not some bubble rule. Same as bad blackjack shoes: math gets warped fast.
