Odd

21 hands. Chip count on hand 20. Secret bet last hand.

One has to make a secret bet on the 21st hand? One does not have the option to make a bet in the open or to use the secret bet on a hand other than hand #21?

That's actually a pretty common implementation of secret bet. I've played many tournaments that had a mandatory secret bet on the final hand. In recent events at Harrahs New Orleans, the bets remain secret only until the cards are dealt. The bet amounts are revealed before any action is taken on the hand.

Same for Horseshoe-Tunica at the final table.

Only a rookie

I guess I have to play more. Thanks for the information/education.

Strange Rebuy, too

This tournament has a rebuy policy...you can buy $500 worth of chips if you only have $5-$100 unbet infront of you--anytime until hand 16. So you could have $1000 in the cirle bet, $5 in front of you and you can get $500 more for $25 REAL dollars (half the buy-in).
