    Incidentally, anyone remember Sue Norsden, aka "KidGirlGy"?

    I think she won her £10,000 package for about £3, & ended up winning over $300,000 in the WSOP Main Event.

    At least some of our players have cashed each year in the WSOP Main Event except last year, when we all ran pretty bad. Hopefully, variance will be kinder this year, & we will get some, err, epic, sick, binks.

    You will also be able to follow the action from home, as there will be daily Video Blogs, written Blogs, & a Live Update throughout. I think Mother recorded almost 100 Videos in Vegas last WSOP, all of which were uploaded within minutes of being shot.

    Gonna be EPICCCCCCCCCCCCC

    Thanks for clearing that up Tikay.

    Very encouraging to know that not only do the small buy ins have a real shot at the package, but some have them have had huge cashes!

    Good decision on the 1 in 5 £240 satelite. The £120 last year was a little brutal.

    Fantastic trip, Tikay does all the running around for you, foot massages, hooks you up with the ladies, the works.*

    Obviously going to try again this year, but pretty sure my good luck was used up for a decade when I one-outted someone for the package.

    Good luck all that play!

    *May be an exaggeration, but he and the rest of the Sky team were great hosts!

    I've come to a decision, this year will be the first year in five I will attempt to get into the WSOP Main Event.  Good luck all.  I'm going to take a real shot at this.

    Maybe I'm mistaken (I've never been involved in the WSOP sats) but I'm sure I remember people saying they ran satellites using your Poker Points (so basically freerolls) because I remember someone saying that's basically the only thing you can do with all your leftover points.

    Have they dropped this now? I guess people don't have leftover poker points under the new system.
