I'm trying to be dissapointed with 2nd place but I satted in from the ground floor and that's my single biggest cash, so it's hard to get too upset Posted by DannyMcs

The next VLV Final will be on January 30th, & there will FIVE Finals in all this year, being January, February, March, April, & May.
It has been decided to change the payout structure for the "Seat Bubble", that is to say, the player who misses the Seat by one spot.
Previously, ALL the "spare" money went to the seat bubble. This resulted in as much as £9,000 in two cases being awarded where there were, say, 19, or 29, runners.
With immediate effect, this will now change.
The "left over" element of the Prize Pool - the cash element - will be split into THREE, on the basis of 50%, 30%, & 20%.
So, if there are, say, 25 runners, there will be two £10,000 packages, with £5,000 "left over".
This £5,000 would be split 50%, 30% & 20% to the THIRD, FOURTH & FIFTH places.
If there were 18 runners, & thus 1 £10k package, the £8,000 would be split 50%, 30% & 20% between 2nd, 3rd & 4th places.
This change will remain in place until further notice, though, like all things, the Suits will re-examine it &/or modify it in the light of player-experience.
With 4 Quarter-Finals still to go this week, we already have ELEVEN players into Sunday's Semi-Final. I think Sunday's Semi will be close to 30 runners, which, if achieved, would send 3 more players into the Final on January 30th. I'm pretty sure the Monthly Final on January 30th will make at least 2 full Viva Las Vegas packages.
Sky Adam told me today that he is going to introduce EXTRA Satellites on Saturday & Sunday to Viva Las Vegas as follows.......
On SATURDAY EVENING, the following "Semi-Direct" VLV Satellites will be in the Lobby, £26 to enter, 2,000 chips, 10 minute Blinds, 1 in 5 get a seat to Sunday's 5pm Semi-Final.....

Or you can buy-in direct to tonight's Semi-Final for £120.
Don't forget, qualifying is easier in the early stages, so now is the time to book those airline tickets to sunnier climes.
They say that every great journey begins with one small step.
Now if I could only remember just where I left my game.........
Well done both

All constructive feedback welcome.
As at today, nine players are already in January's Final, good luck them.
Who's coming to Vegas, then?
With 4 Quarter-Finals still to go this week, we already have ELEVEN players into Sunday's Semi-Final. I think Sunday's Semi will be close to 30 runners, which, if achieved, would send 3 more players into the Final on January 30th. I'm pretty sure the Monthly Final on January 30th will make at least 2 full Viva Las Vegas packages.
We now have FIFTEEN players qualified for Sunday's first Monthly Final.
Phone calls to the winner(s) will probably happen on Monday. Happy days!
Here's the 15 so far, as at Tuesday evening.
The last Semi-Final for the January Final will take place at, I think, 5pm (1700 hours, FIVE PM) on Sunday.

Good luck!
PLEASE remember, that in Sunday's Final, if there is "cash left over", it will be awarded to the NEXT THREE places on the basis of 50%, 30%, & 20%.
