Posted by shokaku: $332 is not a bad win for a freeroll.
But 33,000 players and 7+ hours of play.
Jokerstars at its best.
wasnt a freeroll it was the Sunday Quarter Millions ...... i got a free entry token to it from pokerstars for completing 15 freerolls he he he
What 15 freerolls you comleted? Explain this, what freerolls you played, did you enter the prize pool 15 times or just played 15 freerolls in a row, etc. Maybe you played 15 restricted freerolls or you played public freerolls, open for all.
I played hundreds PS freerolls, but never get any token or invitation from PS.

It was a special deal Stars were running for UK and Eire residents. They have been running "£2000 giveaway" freerolls everynight for the last month.You gained rewards for the more you entered, so, say you entered, and played at least ONE hand in say 5 FR, you got a $5.50 ticket + 2 $2.20 tickets etc etc. Entered and played in one you get a ticket .50c credit etc etc. The top prize you could claim was a quarter million ticket. Pretty good really :]]]]

Congratulations! That accomplishment is a testimony to your poker skill and is something to be proud of. It's always tough to be that close and go out a little earlier than you would like, but good job for sure!

congrads on 332 bucks that is a hard tourney because of the madness i mean really i have played it for over 3 years and i have only got to 107 and that was a big thing for me because they r so many donks that will shove and shove with nothing its insane
Congratulations, man, it's a very very good result, not only because of $332 but the whole number of participants, 33,000 is sick! I think that if you were 7 hours playing, you were less hours that I can imagine. I was playing a 12,000 participants tournament, I was 12th and I was playing for more than 10!
