WOW thats a high roller stake for sure. But only 40 seats........they wont get filled i feel the buy in is just too high.

100k as buyin for tournament wow :O :O players qualifying from satellite will surely be in for a treat if they win or even get to exchange 100k of their chips. but i doubt they'll manage to get 40 players for this big game.

would be fun to play this tournament, but i think the buy in is too much. is there not satellites in any site online. or do you have to go to the cacsino to play sat.
