Congrats. It would be better though if the sites provide enough spending money to cover flight, hotel and other expenses so that one won't end up being a lot more cash-poor after "winning" a package.
I've chatted with package winners from Europe & they admit that the spending money doesn't even cover their flight cost. I'm not complaining either, but the spending money I won won't cover my flight, while all the winners from Australia and other continents will have to spend a lot more. You can contact PokerStars if you want your choice to be the $1,100 PokerStars Montreal Festival (+ cash) since it needs all the online qualifiers it can get to avoid another huge overlay.

The support member who facilitated the deal you agreed to made a mistake; in bounty tournaments it is not possible to chop the bounty pool, only the prize pool.
That being said, we will honour the agreement as it was a mistake on our part. I have credited your account with the bounty money.
If there is anything else we can help you with please do not hesitate to contact us again.

fool turns down an ICM chop wanting more....does he not know who I am?
Went to watch GODZILA yesterday and was hungry for a grind today.
Played EPT Barcelona sub satty (2.20€+R) to win a 215€ ticket.
Chose to play the 82€ 1R1A pokerstars player choice satty instead and shipped it!!
Players Choice Satellites ? Live Events
A poker vacation i can choose from more than 8 countries. 400€ spending + 1100€ entry

Ya. I usually dont play it. Reg for tourneys after kids went to sleep. Kids woke up and I was still playing. = (
Reg at 10pm and finished 930am ish
If thats a grind.. man playing the WSOP is a grind+++
Long bathroom breaks? Snacks or quick naps...
stars has 2 day tournaments that end at a certain level and then day 2 starts on sunday. maybe a little easier and still decent payouts.
it was like, before synchronized breaks? I think maybe 09 or earlier, tbh I cant remember but I loved it.

What took so long between final tables?
