ICM Result (Independent Chip Model)
A shareable, indexable ICM result page: a 4-handed final-table example (stacks 5000/3000/1500/500, payouts 500/300/200) showing each player cash expectation under the Malmuth-Harville Independent Chip Model. Every figure is computed by lib/poker-math.ts.
This page demonstrates ICM on an example final table: tournament chips converted into cash expectation. Note the diminishing marginal value of big stacks — chip share does not equal prize share.
Example final table
Four players in the money, total prize pool 1000 (500 / 300 / 200).
