Too bad you cant play this tournament. It would have been a great opportunity for some big cash. At least you got the a good amount of bonus money. Good luck playing it through.

If i am not mistaken when you played this tournament you were already sick and you also new that you had no money to travel and pay hotel fees to go to the Playground playing the tournament.
Knowing that it never come to your mind when you got HU to let your opponent win the game and you would be second with i suppose a good prize.
The 2nd place prize was $180 American I doubled it with winning the bonus so not complaining. I don't agree with Party rules and fine print if you win a seat it should be sellable if you cant make the live event.

You rarely get the chance to participate in such a big tournament. I am so sorry to hear that you were not able to play in the tournament for a couple of reasons. May your recovery from the influenza be a quick one.

They have made it this way probably cause many players would be chasing the first place in order to trade it for real money. 5K would have been great to trade it of course, but this is where you gambling it for the big money.
There is also the experience in the "package" from live play. Too bad the the actually package, didnt include expenses Another reason i believe some people would have traded the ticket.
