Well I did it. I didn´t pay attention to the first steps of the promotion. I don´t like the "Mamushkas" tournament where you have to win a step to play another step, that could make possible to play the satellite...But a friend make me understand that isn´t smart avoid to play a freeroll of $1000000. So, Saturday night I played a freebuy tournament for 50 seats to the $ 8,80 satellite. I won it with a rebuy of $ 0,25, and in Sunday I won agonically (after a bad beat that almost kill me) the satellite and one of the 500 setas. After two hours of satellite, when I saw that late register would finish in 280 minutes demoralize me! In the first minutes, with 15/30 blind, it dealt me QQ with afraid and nervous I go all in (MP1) with my +- 9800 chips. CO call with AA, and SB call with AK. The flop was QQ8o!! poor people, what a bad beat!...two Knock Out for me! Then I occasionally steal and resteal to keep my stack healty and in the 270 minute I fall with AK against AQ only $ 25...

You can say it was a great result. For only 0.25 USD you have used to qualify, you got 25USD, which is a good amount considering, it was a "freeroll" Bad luck you couldnt go further and nto the money. Maybe next time you can get more lucky Congratulations.
Congratulations to all those who could win money in this tournament ..... I unfortunately did not succeed .... at the very beginning of the game I lost quite a lot from my bankroll .... and I had to play an adventurous .... in the end it ended badly .... without a win

Just read ivan's post. He deserves congratulations also, if not the most of it, with this performance. A great result ivan with a very nice payout. Your finishing position wasnt bad either. I can imagine that the entrants must had been, several thousands. Congratulations to all that got paid

Boom! Massive well done to our fellow mobster ivanjkp on winning a good amount of money in the $1 million guaranteed tournament on 888poker the other day. That is a pretty good return on your little investment. I am looking forward to hearing more success stories soon.

Yes, congrats to ivanjkp for his great result! I was too interested to tell my experience and I forgot to congrats the owner of the thread...One thing that I could saw in the tournament was the different way of playing in all the stages. And I kept surprised by the players who makes four or five re buys, when I fighting to keep alive with my seat that I won in a freeroll!
at least I went up a level and got 100 more gold tokens and a level up freeroll out of it...
here of course you are right ... I also noticed with surprise when I finished the game in this tournament that I improved my level ..... apparently the game in this tournament is similar to the game for $ 55 .... but I had quite a bit for raising the level .... and he raised to 63

I improve my level too! But it brings two more of them because I´m in the low level. When I shut the lobby after playing, the message announcing that I pass since level 20 to level 22! It was a good news, and good amount of golden coins! Now I´m looking for another tournament of that kind. Perhaps PartyPoker with his new Monster series could have one...

I don´t find any good tournaments, a new God of Arena will be to difficult to repeat? The Monster Series begins in 28th October in Party, but it´s not the same. Perhaps, at the end of the year, near or on Christmas they will be there in all the poker´s rooms! After all, what is two month for waiting? one second, two seconds,...
poor people, what a 
only $ 25...
< ...A very nice result for YOU ivan...!!!
