    First post I see Hinton, welcome to the community.  The finals take around 4 hours and gets between 20 & 30 runners. If I can win one, so can you.

    Sue won the Viva Las Vegas final last year.

    Over in Vegas she had an amazing run in the main event making Day 5 before eventually being knocked out in 332nd place for $36,423. I think she was the second highest placed lady. Not bad for the price of a VLV quarter final seat. I'm pretty sure she'll be trying to win a seat again this year.

    Hi Hinton,

      Brain at the ready:

    There are 4 day 1's the sky players are spread across all 4

    There's a days break followed by 2 days 2's

    Another days break then day 3 to day 9 consecutively until you get the November 9

    So out of your 10 days in Vegas you could be playing at least 6, and if you get to day 6 you Tkay & Claire will be staying on after the rest have left for home
    .

    Each day is at least 4 1/2 levels of 2 hrs each, plus 2 hrs in breaks  - 10 -11hrs a day

     Simples

    xxx

    Bad luck to all those who failed to qualify last night, & congrats to those who did. 

    The February Final is THIS Sunday, & there are still daily Qualifiers from as little as £1.45. One of the January Qualifiers got in for £2.85! Spinning up £2.85 into £10,000, & the chance of $9,000,000 - not bad.

    There are daily Quarter-Finals every day this week, except, I assume, Sunday, when the last February Semi-Final will take place at 5pm, I believe.  Sunday's Final will be at 9pm.

    Remember, the three "Seat Bubbles" will share the balance of the Prize Pool based on 50%/30%/20%.

    Further VLV Finals will take place on March, April, & May, but you can qualify this Sunday, & your flight tickets & Hotel will be sorted out next Monday. Good Luck all. 

    Here are the 11 who have so far qualified for next Sunday's VLV Final......

    andrew19475000  
    bazbazbaz5000  
    bromley045000  
    CoxyLboro5000  
    hinton5000  
    jackl5000  
    LIAM5KING5000  
    Nutter59325000  
    rosjim15000  
    seaford25000  
    terrell085000

    4 so far qualified for Sunday's semi-final, and by the time it arrives, there could be 30 or 40, making for 3 or 4 Final Seats. Should be a hot one.

    Don't forget, the semi will be at 5pm (1700) on Sunday, & the Monthly Final will be at 9pm Sunday - (2100).

    Here are the 4 so far into Sunday's semi. Them Grimsby folks keep knocking at the door, & good to see Tina, Phil, & Uncle-Pat, too.

    We don't know yet, it may make 2 Seats, there are often a few "Direct Buy-Ins", but at the moment, it is looking like 1 x £10,000 Package, & a big bunch of money left over to be chopped 50%/30%/20% between 2nd, 3rd & 4th.

    The ONLY ways to get into the VLV final is either by qualification, or direct buy-in.

    I just remembered, Dan Brown was withdrawn from last month's VLV Grand Final, as he was doing TSP proud at the time on the GUKPT Manchester Final Table, so that's another runner for this Sunday.

    So, 12 now, plus all who qualify or buy-in direct this week.

    Even if it does not make 2 packages, looks like a tidy chunk of change for 2nd, 3rd & 4th.
