PokerStars 150 WSOP Seats Guaranteed Tournament

Zithal

Hey all,

Just wanted to post this here in case people don't normally play Stars. This Sunday they're running a 150 seat guaranteed tournament and I think the buy-in is $360 (with various sub-sats.) They're already over 1,000 registered, so I'm guessing this'll hit about 7-8k before its done.

If you buy-in or win an entry, post here and we'll make sure to get some railbirds to cheer you on!

How many people is Stars sending? I know they've already had more than 1000 people win a seat to the main event and the number of satellites they still have on is mind boggling. Might we be looking at 2000 people from Stars alone?

SirWatts

I believe their goal was to send 2000 this year. I'm planning to play this and win some W$.

TiMSuM

I'm about to win a seat from $3R. Sitting chip lead with 13 left. 8 advance.

I can't play in the Sunday tournament though, anyone want to buy the $T/W, whichever one it is?

EDIT: Finished as cheap leader.

Where is best place to sell $W? I got $370W for sale. 

Spicol

I have 160 W$. Does anyone know if I can combine W$ and $ to enter this?

EDIT: Nevermind. I see this is at 4:30pm ET...not a good time.

While I'm not sure if it's true, but I have heard that over 5,000 seats have been taken alone from on line poker sites for the WSOP main event. A site as large as stars sending 2,000 wouldn't be surprising. I guess I gotta go win a satellight on stars to play this.

How much you selling for? If I don't qualify by sat night, I'll buy some W$ from you. I'm pretty sure the wsop ones are w$.

SirWatts

Last I checked Stars had 1200 people qualified through their site, so they might not quite make 2000. Party must have a ton of people qualified also as well as some of the other major sites. Also, Full Tilt has a 100 seat guarnateed satellite this weekend.

Cashmanbrian didn't give a good exchange.

So.....$340W for sale for $300. (Going to keep some $W to try to win another seat, I could possibly play in the Sunday tourney now, but need to pad the bankroll.)

First come first serve. PM or email timsum8@gmail.com

I find it humorous that people are so excited for this tourney.  There is NO overlay.  It is just a massive $370 satellite.  Satting into the sat is exciting I guess but otherwise you are playing a regular tourney with regualr odds.  You are paying 1/34 of the cost of the package and have a 1/34 chance of winning one.  Plus the juice.  I just get a kick out of the marketing and how well it works!!

Good luck all who play, I am sensing at least 2-3 from thsi site are going!

How did you figure there was no overlay? At 12:30 there still was.

CanadaKev

Teach, we all know you can come first place every time you play.
On the other hand, if you think there isn't a monsterous advantage to playing a 7000 player satellite for 250 packages, as opposed to your 100 man sat for 3 packs, you need to rethink about what you are talking about.
Anytime stars finds 7000 players looking to play a 350 buyin tourney while 3 WSOP live events are going on, you can bet yur ass we are gonna get excited.

SIGN ME THE HELL UP!

good luck to the rest who are in.

You make a good point Kev.....





















About me winning any event I enter!





























OK OK ...about the satellite as well.
