I have 8 tickets out of 10 for day 1 of this $ 500,000 tournament. It's not easy at all, but if i qualify on day 2 probably my earn is $150 or more. These days i'm trying to make the ninth ticket, because i have time until the 3 octomber or maybe 4. Good luck mobsters
Wow how did you get 8 tickets? Betting, slots or poker?
I have one (1) only while I made money getting it, getting it was a struggle for me risk and time-wise.
Now that I am there though I need to be in top 33% on any day-1 to get to day-2, average or effective stack will be around 18,500 and about 18,000 qualifiers are my estimates.
Weird structure though, if 10,002 entered only 3,334 (or less, including double ups) would qualify and pay table says paying 5,000. Most odd. I think 888 need to have a look and adjust.

I played too much sports betting, then poker and a few slot games where i lost a few tens of dollars. We can only use one ticket, because yesterday i registered and arrived on the second day with a small stack of 10-11 k and the tournament when it started was with 5k chips. When i wanted to enter with the second ticket in day 1, 888poker said, that i am already qualified on the second day. This is the situation.

I had the impression that i could qualify with more tickets and i will play at more tables, as it was in Full Tilt in the past... This thing it was not like that and we have nothing to do with this problem...

Yeah Calicul , they give so much those tickets and you can't use all if want. I also had surprise about qualify for 2 day. There you can read that qualify tournament finish after blind level 8 but surprise they finished it after about 3 min. was played at level 8 , so I get my seat to 2 day but not so big stack what wanted. Had plan to loose or double in end of tournament and try other one but 888 had different thinks.

I played for a while in the tournament, but to be honest i don't know how much. I pushed all in 6 times and i was lucky only once. I saw that 888 offers a lot of tickets. I had a lot of jacks and queens but also others. 10 days ago i had a total of 208 tickets for 7-8 different games. It will be hard to finish in money for us, but i wish you good luck.

I'm glad for your qualification on the second day and i hope you have a good stack. For now, the tournament has 5,000 paid seats and i must to catch something, to grow. Even if i don't win something, i'm happy, because there are no Croatian players in this tournament. I think it was possible to win tickets even with slot games, not just poker and betting.

Player number wasn't correct , there was around 8700 players , 5000 place paid , didn't have good hands so after first break wait that have 5000 players left and try to double , it didn't work so that's it but get 50$ maybe double it somewhere else...

Yep and it was quite easy 500-5000 get that 50$ , it's difficult to play against players who have 4-5 time bigger stack than what I had but that's the way it was , next try to found way for autumn million tournament and road to Las Vegas tournament is also running...
