have to agree with lukas here- this tourney is a huge fiasco...stars are giving away places for free just for depositing $10 in your account, or just by logging-in in your jokerschoolonline account..bunch of freerolls with 500 places for the event, mega freeroll yesterday with 10K places for tourney, sats from $0.01 and so on...they are super desperate it seems

Lukasb agree with every word! They would have never reached the desired 225.000 players without those giveaways. Even in twitter you could have easily got a ticket (on the Belgian one) just by tweeting a winning hand from Pokerstars, play money included! And one of your history hands too...
But our goal is clear : 1st place of 25 K! I really wish it is gonna be one of the Mobsters out here, at least reaching final table. Gonna be hard - but it's possible.

So from what i see here the qualifications for it were for fun? lol They were expecting the tournament to fill up all seats with 1$? I doubt that. Probably they need to max it so that it is a record.

So the tournament still has over 20 k on open spots.........wonder if they will get it full as it was really the easiest tournament to get a free ticket for....
Do they really need 225K people for the world record or will 224 k do....anyone know what the record is atm??
Anyway, I am really looking forward to this tournament....All is set and ready ...fridge is full, 5 packages marlboro lying besides the PC and 2 lighters ( U never know ) Hopefully my first tables will be packed with donkeys, as patience always beats them in these huge tournaments...
And it would be nice seeing some Mobsters on the tables....

...Also, last time - the first 20 minutes of the tourney was really laggy - there was like a minute pause in between all hands... Let's see if they've sorted out all those kinds of problems.
