Yes its ok to play those satelites online but its difficult to believe that next month or after 2 month everyone sit same table face to face and play that WSOP. Nobody knows situation after 1 month but I think that if play those satellites and win some , it's not disappear from you even if that WSOP play later...

My opinion is that: you have to play without any care, because in the event that you qualify and the WSOP is postponed or canceled you will receive the money. Any variant is good without problems. It matters most that this coronavirus is a bad joke and many people have this opinion.

I wouldn´t be so sure CALICUL, we can see now how the companies (flight, hotel, etc) who have previous contracts with their costumers, cannot meet the return of the money agreed by the massofiasof the withdrawals caused by the pandemic. So, I don´t think that the poker´s room give to you the money of a ticket. At best reschedule events...

6000 of the 8000 total deaths are in China and Italy , that's 75% of all deaths worldwide ............................... Take very strict precautions measures there , actually impose state of emergency measures there to protect their citizens and the rest people of the world as well . Why are they closing one after the other the resorts in Las Vegas , other casinos , other businesses , total disaster , economical catastrophe will be the outcome , not patience or calm behavior , only panic but also aspirin kind of measures by governments , really bipolar and controversial ...

You will receive the money back if you qualify and the tournaments are canceled. This is not a problem but you have nothing to lose. With a few dollars from freeroll games you can try your luck and a visit in united states of america. Good luck.

Those numbers in China go down and all around goes up , if this numbers are correct it means that way how China act with this virus slow it after about 2-3 months , it's only wild guess because don't know exactly when it starts but anyway it's good news that numbers go down , hope same will happens soon other countries also.

Something that was due to happen at some point. And it wont be a surprise at all if their measures become even more strict. If all countries had reacted sooner with measures like the ones that have be taken right now, things would have been different. Lets hope for the best as soon as possible...

These situations could be less critical, if all countries would cooperate with details in research, to make things much better for modern medicine. In a country like the United States of America, with approximately 330 millions residents, it is not good for the virus to spread.

Returning to the CALICUL answer... The poker´s rooms are like all companies with the respect of the contracts. All of them have a special clause that clarifies that the terms will be respected 'except for a matter of major order', that is, if something exceptional and massive happens they are NOT COMPLIED. So, my friend, I would think if I would spend time and/or money in a sat!

You're too scared to try a chance? or maybe you do not believe in chances to qualify and visit a city from another country? You will not be able to do something good, if you do not try to play for something really good. You do not like live, then play for online tournamemts.

Thia matter changes minute to minute. Donald Trump was becoming more and more strict in his desition, first he don´t believe that may be real danger, then shut down all the flights from Europe...The logic step is shut down all the places that were with massive public. So, if he shut the schoolls, I don´t think that keep opened the casinos, don´t you think?

it want be strange if they close everything in america,especially places like las vegas,where so many tourists come to enjoy,to gamble,to stay in hotels and go party,it just time when everything will be shut down!when you see number of nba players that are affected,you see that they will need to something!they cant allow 500 people in some casino,that gamble in same time!
