So the run continues. Dominated that satellite pretty much the whole way and earned a package to LSOP in Panama in September.


  • • LSOP Millions Main Event buy-in ($750+100)
  • • Hotel accommodation at the Hard Rock Megapolis Panama (5 Star Hotel)
  • • Airport roundtrip transportation (airport-hotel-airport).
  • • Breakfast
  • • $20 Daily credit to spend in the Hotel Bar
  • • 24/7 VIP Support Line during the Event
  • • LSOP Store Credit to purchase souvenirs

well deserved HC!

you're gonna do some damage done there.

I hope so!! If I play like I've been playing I like my chances to make some noise.

Will be a nice vacation and some great experience, at a minimum.

Hey I know you say you are going there but did you find out what the cash value of this ticket is?
poker stars use to give you the option of talking cash value when you win something like that. Was just curious what you could sell that for.

but if I were you I would certainly go

Saw people selling them on 2+2, seems like the going rate is about 1k.

No way am I selling it unless for some reason I absolutely can't go. My goal was to qualify for the trip so I could go down there and make some noise. If I just wanted the cash I would have just played a 50+5 MTT, it would have paid a lot more than 1k.

How often do you get a chance to take a concrete step towards your dream career?

Anyone else find it suspicious that OP made a critical thread about the poker room being rigged, then a few says later wins a big tourney. Where's all the conspiracy theorist at?

no doubt.

Damn those idiots for selling that for 1k.

If I went on my own and payed my own way it would cost at least 3x that.
Why would they sell it that cheap?

Saw that the package was valued at 1750, although seems like more to me. 850 for the tourney + airfare to Panama + 8 nights hotel has gotta be well over 2500.

Anyway last year I saw people tried to sell them for 1500 and then people came into the thread undercutting. I think a lot of the poker sites run lots and lots of satellites so tons of people end up with packages that don't intend on playing. Supply and demand I suppose.
