Another seat for only one dollar. And the package is great of course. They got lucky with the whole qualifier winning the package, now they will have to have a follow up with same luck, to win something in the actual tournament But even if they dont, experiencing playing in a tournament of such magnitude worth it

It's sensational to win a package of 14,000 dollars with only one dollar. Then get to Las Vegas and there you learn poker from a professional player. However, it is very hard to beat 5 players and to win a prize but it is not impossible.
Yes, it's cool for 1 dollar to get a wonderful chance to participate in a very cool tournament ... but probably a lot of people participated in the selection to get this chance .... so you should not forget that this is just one lucky person from a large number of people who could not pass selection

Is not bad, but it's very hard to win a qualification like this. 888poker should do more places for a tournament like this. I like big games satellites but i want even more places. People who are trying to earn money deserve a chance.
Posted by bigpats009: Sounds like a lot of grinding.
More or less living off your poker earnings is what it is - just grinding... Now if you could bag a couple ticket packages here or there and travel to live games to experience the whole thing - well then the grind was worth it.

Even if you go to live tournaments and play there that does not guarantee you winnings. There you play with a lot of players who know the poker game very well. It's a real adventure if you succeed to beat them and get to a final table and there to win a big amount of money. It's very, very hard.
participation in a live poker tournament is of course Absolutely a different game than an online game .... there you have to curb your emotions that other players can read .... I have never participated in a live poker tournament but I would like to try .... but I'm afraid that my emotions can be easily read on my face since I am an emotional person

I had the opportunity to participate in two live tournaments but i did not want to play there. Online i had several occasions but Sua is too far for me. I hate planes, even if it's nice to look at the window. Not because of fear but the fact is that: you have to fly a lot to get there. I do not like to stay long time in the air.
Amazing victory for this man, winning this high-value seat from just 1 dollar should be very exciting. I love the Poker After Dark show, even though I must admit that I never participated in live poker tournaments. This show is pretty exciting and enertaining.
