A terrific Semi-Final last night, I got Online to Rail when there were 15 left, that was the first of the 2010 Viva Las Vegas Semis, & it got an amazing 65 runners.
So, 7th place got £550 I think, & the following players are all in The First of this year's Finals, on Sunday April 4th;

Many congrats to them all. Now they just have to get through on Sunday 4th - it looks like it might make 2 seats, but deffo 1 with a big lump of cash for 2nd - & then they will get on one of these......
...to here......
....with a suite (not a room, a suite) here......
....with Entry to the WSOP Main Event, which costs just over......
There are feeder satellites all day, every day, leading to Quarter Finals every night. You can satellite into the quarters from as little as £1.45, (1 in 10 qualify), or £2.80 (1 in 5 qualify), or even buy-in direct for £13.
These, based on 1 in 10, feed into the second Sunday Semi, which will be this Sunday. Again, qualifiers from that go through to the Sunday 4th Final, to join last night's bunch.
The really balla boys can buy in direct to Sunday's Semi-Final for £120.
tikay quick question im only 20 so i get into the vegas final n just say got to the final 2 can i fold my way to the money n let the other player win or would that not be aloud ?

Well, if I understand you correctly, you are saying you will not be 21 come Vegas-time, so are not elgible for playing in Vegas, or winning a Viva Las Vegas Package.
And....
If you played a Viva Las Vegas Final, & got heads up, you would just "fold out"?
I don't think that circumvents any Rules, to be honest, but it's a bit of an odd one, playing for 2nd place!
Having said that, Sharksbite came 2nd in a Viva Las Vegas Final & copped for £9,000! (The "left-over" money for 2nd place varies between Nil & £9,000, depending on how many runners).
Actually, Flush, you'd be better checking that out with Customer Care, as the T & C's say......
"....This Promotion is open to all UK, Isle of Man, Channel Island and Republic of Ireland residents, aged 21 years or over. PROOF OF ID WILL BE REQUIRED by the WSOP and also by Sky Poker before flights and accommodation will be confirmed......"
Now, the purpopse of that Rule is because Nevada Gaming Law prohibits players under 21, so the Winner could not take their seat in the WSOP, rather than any Sky Poker "internal rule", but if I were you, I'd check it out first.

Monday night saw another Quarter Final, and FIVE more players booked their Seat in Sunday's Semi-Final, so there are now 11 with seats booked for Sunday night.

6 players are already in the Final on Sunday April 4th, with two more Semi-Finals still to come, so there's a chance that TWO £10,000 packages will be available on Sunday 4tth.
Another bumper Quarter Final last night - 101 runners, generating 10 more Qualifiers for the Monthly Final on Sunday April 4th.
So there are now TWENTY in this Sunday's Semi-Final, & one in 10 of those will go through to the Final. Those with keen eyes & memory will spot that there were 11 qualifiers BEFORE last night, but only 20 now. Where did the other one go? No idea, but "CALSO" seems to have disappeared from the list. Maybe I messed up the C & P?
In Response to Re: Viva Las Vegas - the Scores on the Doors. : I well remember that - you were very unlucky, as I recall. We have ELEVEN for tonight's Quarter Final now.

yes just a bit lol but hey thats poker so close but not close enough hope the poker gods are kinder this year
Another great quarter final tonight... 83 runners, 8 seats of course and the bubble itself must of lasted a good 30 - 40 mins with the majority of players sat with only 4 or 5 blinds... incredible the amount of shoves getting through and shorties doubling. Well played everyone and see you Sunday
Another bumper Quarter-Final last night - 121 runners - means TWELVE more go through to Sunday's Semi-Final.
And what a Semi-Final that looks like being already, 42 runners so far, with 2 more Quarters still to go, three if they run one on Sunday before the Semi, which is scheduled for a 9pm start.
Good to see so many long-term Sky Poker players in the mix too.
So, as of NOW, there will be a guaranteed TEN players in the first Viva Las Vegas Final on Sunday 4th April.
At current rates, there is a chance that it could make 2 seats, & at the very worst, it will be almost 2 seats, so a £10k package, & a bumper lump of cash for 2nd.
There will also be two more VLV Finals after that, one for April, one for May.
April is the 4th, its advertised in the tournament section at the moment. As for the others, im not 100% sure if the dates are decided yet. I believe it will be 3 lots of Finals

Viva Las Vegas "Finals".
There will be three - April 4th, for March, & an "April" Final & a "May" Final, dates to be announced.
The March Final will have TWO more qualifying weeks - this week, & next week.
This week's Semi will be on Sunday, at 9pm.
The Semi the week after - Sunday April 4th - will be earlier in the Evening, followed by the Final.
Times, details, da de da, will all follow as & when.
Any questions, or Viva Las Vegas stuff you are not clear about - ask away please.
Good luck.
Temperature in Vegas in July, when the Main Event begins?
43c.
Thats "warm".

Ignore my previous ramblings - CALSO IS in, so there are 21 qualified so far for Sunday.

Dan Brown, of course, is "on the 'plane" already.
The party gathers pace.
