The 2010 WSOP Main Event is finally down to the final table as there are only 9 players left. However, we will have to wait until November 6th for the televised final table. Even though the final table doesn't include so many notables as we maybe would have hoped for, I'm still sure that it will be a super exciting one. I will especially keep an eye on the only non-pro Cuong "Sol" Nguyen and Micha[...] Read more » 2010 WSOP Main Event: November Nine is set!

no pros, very dissappointing year for the WSOP, too bad the pros lose another chance to take back the bracelet. Good luck to everyone and better luck next year for the pros.
------------ my apology, no big name pros at the final table

Posted by SimpLe-SI: what happened to the guy who won the BRM WSOP seat promotion? did he play / cash?
She didn't go
Why at all Partypoker offered a chance to change the ticket for money 3 months there was a big fuss and everyone were so excited BRM made this fabulous promo by giving a brm member chance to go to wsop and now she didnt even go, ffs!
Sorry, but it really pisses me off. Go fkn play a lottery if you want to win money to pay your credit cards (or then get a job if you cant feed your family, but to change something like that to money is total bs). I thought this promotion was all about going to WSOP and having a chance to live your DREAM!

NOBODY said that she was offered a chance to change the ticket for money. I don't want to give out any exact information since it hasn't been confirmed, but if it's true, then she has a legit reason for not going - and she didn't get anything but the spending money (so ticket wasn't exchanged for money, as far as I know).

she probably has no time. even if she was never thinking about to go to vegas...she had fun playing and what shes gonna do with the ticket is up to her.

Im pretty sure Party gave out 9 or 10k to excange the ticket. Atleast thats how it was in another Partypoker promo I played last year. First place was offered ticket to wsop or in excange 9k (might have been 10k, dont remember anymore) pure cash. Spending money is credited to your account instantly after the tourney ends (atleast in most sites) and if terms and conditions allow, you can excange the ticket for money. I red she wrote after winning that she might take the money, but thought shes joking. Who would take the money if the % to cash in the money in the biggest event of the year is 1 to 10.
Anyways im dissapointed. I won 3 chances to play that qualifyin freeroll for 3 places, but I didnt played any of those because was at work, and one time I was home they tourney was cancelled. Every mans dream is to play main event, but khm, the winner was a lady lol.
btw - PKR.COM had its pro Marc 'Waswini' Bariller" (Frenchman who started with zero few years ago) out there in the main event also - and he cashed for 19k.

Im with kirstan, it pissis me off that some one can waste 10k.....aint small change, OK I can honestly only think of 1 reason why id not go...but if she knew b4 hand she should have took 2nd place. The spending money was a small slice of that pie.

Harsh or not, but dont you think it should be in terms and conditions that you confirm before registering that you are going to play the main event also? Otherwise why would you have to confirm that you are above 21 years - might aswell be 18 if you take the money and diss the main event

I'm not sure, but I think for this year it was not possible to excange your ticket for cash. Last year, yeah, but I don't think it was possible this year. As I said, she got the spending money and as far as I know - that's it. She didn't get any cash for the ticket.
And as I also said, if what I heard is true, then she has a totally legitimate reason for not going.

Well if it is true and something did stop her from playing then im truely sorry, but I think she got the money (spends) and blew most if not all of it playing poker at PartyPoker, my judgment based on PTR, and could no longer afford the trip.

she didnt have a passport .................................
but yet still enterd the tourney
ok just had a thought if she had a totally legitimate reason for not going, how come the 2nd place in the tourney didnt get the ticket was only fair???
did she tell partypoker that she wasnt going? so they could of least give the ticket to the next person
. they are not related.
No 
to excange the ticket. Atleast thats how it was in another
