It is s good promotion from 888poker giving away another package, but the chances are not big winning it. Winning a hand with some combo of eights is the first trick. Not easy since you have to win the hand also, but after that you will have to win the tournament, which probably awards only once package, in other words you will have to win the tournament But with these requirements, it wont have too many entrants in the first place \. Good luck to all the ones participating.

I understand there are more opportunities to get to Las Vegas and fortunately you can try in other poker rooms, to qualify for major tournaments in this serie of world series of poker. It's important to be ambitious and you can produce a surprise and to visit a famous city of North America.

For the ones grinding in the site, ot will be easier to win an entry to the freeroll, chasing that combo with the eights. Although for some it may cost, trying to win the hand with them eights, ending up losing the hand And that is the easy part, if you can say so. The hard part is to win the freeroll to get the package.
I received the same letter from 888poker .... the offer is quite tempting, but all you have to do is to play and try to defeat the eight in your opponent's hand ... it is easy enough to do this just have a little patience and enough money on your account to use it a sentence .... but I have no money now so I pass by
I want to go to Vegas too. But why am I suddenly feel like that I would have a better chance accomplishing it if I buy a planeticket and reserve a hotel room for myself instead trying to achieve all of these via playing poker... Could take some time either way...

I think that anyone would like to go to las vegas either to play poker there and also to be able to know that place, although all the movies that I see always end up all dry or peeled by the casino hahaha but good hope one day I can go to know that place although this lejitos

It used to be harder to get Visa because their background checks were too long but now when everything is online you only need to prove you going there as a tourist and you will get it just fine.

as I know you still need to go in embassy on interview,if you work you need to take free day,to pay 160 $ before interview and to make online reservation!so its not just easy!maybe you will get visa without problems,but you cant know for sure!its up to them,so thats why I dont like this kind of way that americans work!
a visa for a trip to the United States and it used to be quite difficult for Russians .... but now when the United States is in confrontation with Russia I think that getting a visa seems to me almost impossible for ordinary people .... Of course if you have money can be solved by money ... But for ordinary people, everything is sad
