Their promotional video:
The Lucky Winner from Canada Jonny "Tommyder" Anderson emerged victorious amongst a field of 623 players after more than 5 hours of play.
Hailing from Canada and performs using the stage name "tommy da", Anderson said, "First of all, I am a proud and strong Native American and an aspiring hip-hop artist." His songs include track titles such as "Getting Money", "Champaign Lights", and "Flyest in the Game". You can listen to them here.
He grew up in the foster care system in Canada and tries to be a positive influence and valued role model in his community, "If there is one thing you will find out about me it is that I'm straight up. I don't lie to those I love, and I'm a beast at the table. I think the show and everyone in Vegas is gonna like what I bring to the table."
Regarding his music, he said, "I currently just hit No. 1 on the Canadian Hip-Hop Billboard Charts. I love music, and the only thing I love more is my family. Sorry to say poker comes third on that list, but I love it nonetheless."
Poker Journey Anderson first learned how to play poker at age 19 and used his winnings to support his family. He began with only a $500 bankroll and built it up early on after he won $7,000 in a private game. He said as he laughed, "Since then I've been hooked. This opportunity is the biggest I've had so far, but I've won in a few big games. I've been to Vegas a couple times. Once with my father for the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) finals and then with a few friends for a wild weekend I don't really recall. It's been a blast every time, but what I'm looking forward to on this trip is meeting some of the pros I used to watch on TV."
As an avid fan of Poker After Dark since its inception, Anderson knows he will come face to face with some of the toughest opponents in the industry.
When asked who he would like to play a heads-up match with, he answered, "Doyle Brunson, just because I feel I could learn so much about not only poker but life as well from his experience. Plus, he probably has some really great stories about poker from the early days."
He continued, "My plan is to just come in and do me, and play my awkward, unpredictable style. If I win, I would set up some trust funds for my kids for when they grow up, and I'd take some money and try my luck in Vegas as well as finish my new album."
He thanked 888poker for this rare opportunity by saying, "I love poker tournaments. Anything, even $10 buy-ins, get my blood running. Thanks to 888poker for this opportunity. I'm sure I'll have a great time."
Once-in-a-Lifetime $10,000 Sit & Go The first $10,000 buy-in Poker After Dark - 888poker Week II Sit & Go is scheduled on May 21 at the PokerGO studio in Vegas, with the first qualifier going head to head against Chris Moorman, Dominik Nitsche and 3 other famous poker pros.
The second qualifier will then play on May 22 at the same studio and will also battle against Chris, Dominik and 3 others.
Both are free-rake tournaments and with the following payouts:
I think that this was before on poker stars and it was few years ago and it was great chance for every player who play online to come and to play against big names at one table!it wa nice show and lot of good hands I watched on you tube and poker stars page!didnt know that last two years this is in organisation of 888 poker!
Her time passed when i refer to her femininity. She's not young anymore and i do not have the same tastes such as Emmanuel Macron. When i was younger i liked it Jennifer Tilly a lot but now i look at her as a sexagenarian person. About qualification in a $ 10,000 tournament with a dollar is very beautiful. Not even the most beautiful thing but here was the fault of Google Translate. This villainous program has many mistakes but the reality is that: you can play in a major tournament with the money that you spend to buy a beer from the store. This is not beautiful?

Dude you would never say no to her face2face, there are plenty worse 60 year olds out there to be less excited about.

I also encounter similar errors when using Google translator ... but for me it is the most convenient program for writing messages on this forums ... The thing is, I understand English quite poorly ... therefore Google translator is better for me ... But sometimes it distorts the meaning of the message and it turns out quite the opposite .. costs
It depends on every man in part. Now i have respect for Jennifer Tilly because he plays poker successfully, but as a sex partner or as fan of her forms no. I understand she has a boyfriend who is 14 years younger than her and he is also a professional poker player. His name is Phil Laak and their relationship has 15 years. If Phil Laak reads what you wrote, he will ask about where you are... The translator has some problems of course but we learn from mistakes or not.
some legendary hands are made in this poker after dark and it was so great to watch big names,brunson and others,but also many young players,who started to play poker,but now are such a big names!who know who will play this year!

Lol, he can watch it if he wants. Of course we would play only poker. Maybe some strip-poker.
Jennifer tilly is of course a very beautiful woman ... and her poker game also deserves a lot of respect ... besides the beauty she has a wonderful brain that makes the right decision quickly enough ... and in the end she wins .... the world is not so a lot of female poker players ... so they should be protected and rejoiced when there are more
Yes of course it is very good situation to win from one dollar a chance to play versus very good and famous poker players and maybe win ticket for 14000 worth and it is included money for expenses and for hotel
If he wants to play poker with you will be very good. You will learn a few moves who will help you in this hobby of poker player. Until you meet him you have to try and to qualify for major live tournaments. Poker After Dark is now available through satellites and good luck with that.
its nice when you have chance like this to take your seat and to play on whatever cards you want,because you dont have anything to lose and you can just win big money!its one life time chance and you need to give everything from yourself in it!
I would like to be in that place and take that prize, it will be very good to win with only 1 $ 888poker should I participate in these tournaments hahaha regards my friends poker
------------
I would like to be part of the team and play big I have only been able to play online I would like to step on new ground and face my opponent face to face please who knows how to participate in these tournaments answer this thread please thanks greetings I am an epedernido player!
Man, to get to Las Vegas you have to play satellites and qualify. It's not easy, it's hard, but it's not impossible. Last year a user of this site succeeded to get to a live tournament with 10,300 dollars the entry. You can do that if you play good poker. I wish you succes.
well even if I would get something like this for free,I would have problems to go there,because you need visa for america and its big procedure to get it!you need one whole day,to go in capital city on interview in embassy,to collect so many documents and to pay 160 $ before you come on interview,but if you dont get visa,they dont back money to you!very big procedure,just to have paper to enter in america!¨ there are so many other places on earth,where you dont need visa or if you need you get very easily!
If you have money and you are going to visit a city of United States Of America, you will have to prepare yourself in advance. It's not ok but we are not part of the group of countries with the free movement area. Other countries are more respected but we not received this respect yet.
problem is with EU,because only 5 countries from EU need visa for america and 23 not and EU want to change that,but they cant!they cant force them to change it,if they dont want it!all rules should be same for every country from EU,like it works for travel to other countries!
For me to get in America with a tourist visa i must to complete the electronic visa application form. I need the picture, to pay a fee for visa, to schedule an interview and to be accepted. Then i need a passport and to go at the interview at their embassy and of course you need it other little things but is not so bad. Visa application is made 3 months ahead and this is the big problem.

If they don't stop with the immigrant paranoia in the US soon every european country - EU or not - will need visa again.
Yes, because Donald Trump is a man who has been tired of so many legal or illegal immigrants. It's not easy to get a 10-year visa in America and after that you can lose the right to live on their territory. I know a case and this man was married but he was expelled from USA. It is very difficult to win a seat in satellite tournaments and then to get your visa very quickly. Perhaps embassies also offer emergency visas.
good hope I also had a bit of luck this guy and could earn me something similar, but the truth is not if someday I have the opportunity to win something like this ... god give me some chance haha

The European Commission makes an effort and asks the United States to abolish visas for all countries from European Union. For now, Trump has not accepted this and it's not clear if he accepts or not in future. The Visa Lottery for Usa can be abolished, i think.
for me, as residents of Russia, it seems to me that it’s most likely absolutely impossible to get to this tournament .... I won’t be allowed in simply because I am from Russia ... and this is a minus one player who could change something ... therefore some then I will not attempt to participate in it .... which of course is very sad
Well the truth is I never had the luck to be able to earn something nice with little money but I am glad that others can do it and more if in fact they need that money ... since sometimes it seems that the same game is all armed for that you win or lose to how they want hahaha

You mean the Green Card Lottery? That's different than the rest of the Visa stuff though. Green Cards are permanent work permits.
