$25,000 Sat to 1M BI One Drop in Montreal Next May
Now I think I have seen everything. Was going through the tourney schedule on Players Poker Canada and noticed a 1k and 3k on the December schedule...with Satellitte beside it???
So googling the event name "The Grand Loto-Quebec Poker Tournament", I end up on Espacejeux. Turns out these really are sats to a $25,000 buy-in next May. There will also be a scratch and win campain awarding seats.
The event is going to give a $1,000,000 seat to the winner for the WSOP "Big One for One Drop" next summer. The top 16 will get $5000 "VIP" packages to go watch.
I am going to write it up, but sure this event will be met with mixed opinion, so let's hear 'em if you have 'em...

Hummm, sounds pretty bad, I'm sure most people would rather have a million than play in a 1 mil buyin.
Down to 44, looks like 5 at least will pay, with of course most up top.
@ptprpoker on Twitter (Éric Danis) is doing live updates for those interested.
A random won it, googled him, found zero profile pages save media reports about his win last night. As the story goes, his buddy won the 25k seat on a slot at Lac Leamy, but knew zero about poker, so they made an arrangement for this Carlos to play it.
Sure hope they have friends and family to buy action cause this might be the biggest chunk of dead money in history. Then again, maybe it will turn out to be the poker underdog story of the century....
I hope the young fellow does well. Looking at is education background my guess is he may surprise some people.
