this would mean once antes kick in you never lose a single pot. and with 10k people, there will be considerable amount of time with antes involved. mathmatically i dont know, but no

Make it a Pot Limit event, and you don't have to worry about antes. Still, I'd probably win the Mega Millions lottery 50 times in a row before this would happen.

Yes.
Let's say for arguments sake that the tables are 10 handed. If everyone but 1 person at each table is eliminated on every hand, the tournament would be over in 4 hands:
First hand: 10000 start, 9000 eliminated
Second hand: 1000 start, 900 eliminated
Third hand: 100 start, 90 eliminated
Fourth hand: 10 start, 9 eliminated
One left standing. If he was 5 spots off the big blind and there were no antes to start, technically he could win without ever posting a blind or ante.

Without posting a blind or ante? You would have to win within one rotation..so I don't see how that would be possible.
Without losing a blind or ante...I guess..it's possible? Though...very unlikely.

Why would anyone even bother thinking of a question like this, let alone consider answering?

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark, that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” —Raoul Duke, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

The judges will accept this answer. Carry on.
