    I'm thinking of giving it a go, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get enough time off work to participate in the November Nine. ;)

    No - not this year, as the take-up was, to everyone's surprise, very low. So this year it's "just" the Viva Las Vegas £10,000 packages.

    In Response to Re: Viva Las Vegas, Baby! : you could buy in with points? how many points was it to buy into the final?

    Referring to the points issue - 

    Last year their was a promotion if you earn 30k sky points you got free entry to the £1.k buy in, I think 4 of us made it and I was one of those hard grinders....which I then went on to win the sat with and enjoy a 2 week trip in Vegas. 

    This year I like many others shall strive for that very same thing :)

    Hi offshoot (& Ben),

    To the best of my knowledge, (though I'm not sure, so don't quote me), that will not be the case this year. Certainly, I've seen the "package details". & that was not mentioned anywhere.

    So, unless stated otherwise, assume it's not the case, please.

    Of course, if you get 24K CFP points in any month then you will get a £1K bonus and you can buy in with this.  :-)

    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!

    I have to agree with tikay that Sky are 2nd to none in terms of looking after their players in Vegas. A small close nit team and that way its all the more special.

    If your gonna win a WSOP package, my advice is win one with Sky! Its the business:)

    I think it's more comfortable to sit inside the plane.
