    I am playing my first Micro Sat for £2.50 at 15:50. This is where the path to glory starts! Roll on all the subsequent tournies I'll need to win to get a £10,000 package. Good luck to everyone taking part, and a big congratulations to Sky Poker for what seems to be a great looking satellite structure. VIVA LAS VEGAS!
    Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

    Hi Sky Poker. I just went to where the details of the promotion are. It says the package includes 2 tickets for flights to Vegas and 10 days hotel stay in Vegas. It doesn't say what tourney entry we would be winning. Is this an oversight or is the exact tourney as yet undecided and will be confirmed at a later date? Any further info about this amazingly exciting promotion would be gratefully received.

    It is to do with legal issues.

    Don't worry it is the 10k$ WSOP Main Event that you will be playing, if you are so lucky to get a package!

    Bubbled the first Micro sat but will be playing as many of these as I can. I'll have a blast at a couple of Quarter Finals too. So glad the sats are standard freezeouts and have normal clocks not Frenzie style. It allows the smaller stakes players a real shot at the bigger sats as its all about playing poker not Russian Roulette. Great work by all involved. Bring on the WSOP.

    Afternoon Ladies, Gentlemen, & Solack, what great news!

    This will be our 4th or 5th Sky Poker Vegas adventure, & we must have taken - note, "taken", not sent, because we look after everyone out there - and I think every person we have gone there with will say it is the poker trip of a lifetime. More details of how everyone is looked after, & by whom, soon.

    The £10,000 package includes a SUITE at The Rio All-Suite Hotel for around 10 or 12 days, a return airline ticket for one, or two - because you can bring a guest if you wish - & some spending money.
     
    Several people on this thread have noted that we have not mentioned the buy-in to the Main Event. There are a labyrinth of legalities & technicalities involved here that would make your eyes water, but you just have to look at how we do this every year. We have never mentioned buying players into any WSOP Event, it is called a "Vegas Holiday", but everyone of our winners has played the WSOP Main Event.

    Any questions, fire away, I'll monitor the thread daily.

    Good luck everyone, let's have some fun.

    Vegasssssssssssssssssssss
