I believe this is the biggest prize ever for a promotion. Imagine how much the lucky winner can win, in a whole year of tournaments. Even if the total at the end of the year is 0, absolutely nothing, we are talking about a year travelling all over the world, with business class tickets, and luxury hotel stays... Just WOW !!!
this is really a very cool prize ......... PartyPoker remains the leader among poker rooms ............ such steep prizes have never been ........... ..polmillion dollars happy player ............ I think it will be a very cool Battle for this prize ............ and someone will be incredibly happy in the end .. ......... PartyPoker is the best poker room

This does look like a particularly good promotion and i am sure that there will be thousands of entries. It would be fantastic to read on here that one of our fellow mobsters has won this ticket (hope its me!!!)

What a great promotion, but what are the chances of anyone actually winning it? You need to win the whole thing from a satellite entry won during a specific period of time. It is possible, but highly improbable. It seems a fairly safe bet on the part of PartyPoker however there’s is a very nice second aspect to the prize, which will be won, a $25k prize for the longest lasting finalist having entered with that promo period satellite ticket. Good luck everyone.

The interest on this prize must reaching the top. If there are satellites for that tournament, many players will push some money to try their luck. And why not after all. Spending some money for free travelling and playing poker on top of that, makes up for everything.

yeah,like you say bowie1984 for me is also this strange and that when you read this looks great!but you need to go from satellite and then to win something!so this will be lot of players who will try from satellites to win place at this tournament,but again price is high for every tourney! I know that they cant give for free this prize,but come on,give players normal chances to win it!

This award is for the big players, not for us. You must have a crazy chance to win this prize. Professional players will not let you to win and they will play excellent to win this prize. Chances are extremely small but if you consider yourself a good player, then try your luck.

It is not something impossible. There are plenty of players that have managed to win a respectable amount of money in a tournament, which they had won the entry from a satellite. And there was a post here recently of such an example. The higher you buy in though into satellites, the easier it is at the ed to get the ticket.

What exactly sounds weird ? Its the way it goes. Is it the same buying in, in a satellite tournament, with a buy in of 1 USD, to win a ticket for another satellite that has 2 USD buy in and then win a ticket for another and so on... or is it easier for example, buying in for the last step, to win the ticket for the actual tournament... Not that hard to grasp the idea...

For many players who have time but not so much money, these satellite tournaments are excellent. They can play with ambition to try something nice but is very hard and is only one player who will win that wonderful prize. This battle will be beautiful in the last satellite.

ofcourse that this cant be easy for win,who will give such a big prize for small effort,nobody!but its hard to win satellite and then to win on tournament or to be close to first place!thats why its such a big prize,but nobody cant say thats easy!

Your math doesn't checks out. Larger buyin satellites doesn't necessarily have more tickets to distribute ie.: better chances to actually win one.
