    The first MONTHLY Final - from which one player in 10 will win a £10,000 Viva Las Vegas package, will be on Sunday 4th April.

    I'm not sure, but I think there will pobably be two more Monthly finals - one each for April, & may.

    Please remember, you MUST be over 21 to enter Viva Las Vegas.

    It'd be wise to read the Viva Las Vegas Terms & Conditions BEFORE entering.

    If you have any questions as to Viva Las Vegas, post them on this thread, & either I'll answer them, or I'll find someone who can.

    Good Luck!

    If you win the WSOP Main Event (& about $8 million) you will have to do a LOT of interviews, so you may as well get used to it!

    To ease the pain, you get return flights to Vegas for TWO people - you and one other (does not have to be the missus, you can take Rory Delap if you want....), AND a fortnight in a plush Suite - Suite, not room - at the Rio, which is the home of the WSOP.

    WOW that's an AWESOME package.

    I'd like to volunteer right now for the role of 'other person'.

    Please also feel free to buy me into the main event.. where I will no doubt go all in with AJ in the first hand and lose.

    Thank you.

    Ps.. anyone wanting to buy me into the main event anyway please contact me on www.AJ.is.the.nuts.com

    I'm defo going to win it.

    On a more serious note.. GOOD LUCK to all who are playing in the Satellites today. What an amazing opportunity.

    Wow that's come round quick again! I clearly remember watching a couple of shows last year - the one where Nutter5932 played really well and came first, winning his seat, and the one where Sharksbite came 2nd for a very healthy payday!

    Hi Charles,

    It's hard to "guarantee the trip of a lifetime", but if you ask ANY of the players we have taken to Vegas in the last 2 years, I think all of them will say it was a bit special.

    They don't just get sent an airline ticket, some money, & a hotel room - they get looked after, personally, from start to finish, given a Suite in The Rio, da de da. Dan, Ben, Will, Hoggers, & the others will, I'm quite sure, testify to that. Sky Poker do their Vegas things better than anyone, imo.

    It's time you won one of these packages. Good Luck, go get it.

    Entered one of the sats and you guessed it, cancelled because it was 1 player short, any chance of running some sats in the sit and go section, that way it wont close until they get the required amount.

    And that adds to the whole community thing with Sky. You can see it really is "team Sky" its not a case of presenters/staff go off and do their thing and only see the players for interviews. Its obvious the staff really do care about the players and want them to do well.. Im under no illusions, qualifying for vegas will be so hard, especially now my bankroll has taken a bit of a battering with a bad run and a new computer. I will have to go through quarter finals rather than semi's as a £100+ buyin is too much at the moment,

    Loony,

    I'll send the Thread up to Sky-Bernie, maybe he'll take that on board.

    The 12.45 Sat has just begun, it made 13 runners, (12 now, 1 went first hand!), so 2 Qtr Final seats guaranteed in that.

    The Sats only went up today, & will be promoted heavily in Newsletters, Blogs etc, & all that is still to come, so I would think the numbers will swell pretty soon.

    STOP-PRESS - down to 11 already - two men overboard!

    I wasn't here last time when this ran - but I've watched the tv programmes following Greg and the others....

    Just wondering did anyone ever buy in directly to the monthly final for £1k???

    There are already THREE players entered for tonight's Quarter Final, I don't know if they qualified, or paid n direct (£13), but good luck to Sharky, goodylad & BIGDINGA in that.

    Yes JJ, they did, though it would perhaps be improper to name them. They were successful, profitable, players, & felt, for them, it was a more cost-efficient way of qualifying than working through the Sats.
