does it happen?

At present, no. They used to send 5 every year, but now they do it differently. In future years, who knows?

True, but we sent 5 players per year to it for 6 or 7 years & only two of them cashed to the best of my recollection.

@Tikay10 it's more the experience of playing biggest game in poker for people who would probably never do so otherwise. cashing is great but just getting to play on the tables with some of the best, nothing like it

Don't really disagree tbh, it's just a case of skinning cats different ways.

Having said that, at the moment Sky Poker can't qualify players for ANY WSOP Event, be it Main or otherwise, due to licence restrictions.

I had the pleasure of qualifying through ladbrokes many moons ago for the WSOP main event after only playing poker for a few months recreationally. These type of packages are a once in a life time experience, as opposed to playing in a smaller wsop or other tournament in vegas.

It's a shame sky don't run packages for other live tournaments to, especially those in the UK.
