Through to the semi final at the first time of asking via the £2.50 satellite route. Well happy with that! Heres hoping I go one card further than 2010 when Kidgirlgy beat me heads up and then went on her amazing in the ME. Good luck to all grinding through these sats. Tough stuff but very rewarding!
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.
Are you sure it was that much? I know Redmond won over $300K from the same main event
10 runners already, & 1 in 5 get a seat, so there will be at LEAST two go through to the Monthly Final, probably more, because there are Satellites all day today.
Three players have already booked seats in the first VLV Final on March 25th, but there are three semi-finals feeding into that, (on the next three Sundays) so plenty of time to join them.
The next Semi-Final is THIS SUNDAY, & 6 players are registered already. (1 in 5 get a seat in the Final).
Coxy actually won a £10,000 VLV package last year, so is gunning for two in a row, whilst Beaneh came close several times last year, & eventually joined us as a guest of one of our other VLV winners.

The semi finals are in fact 1 in 5 get a seat to the Final. It is the actuall Final that is 1 in 10 jobbie for the package. Just thought I would clarify this for players who would be trying to get a semi final spot.

Always stuck in 2 minds when its Vegas time. On 1 hand it's a great trip and potentially life changing. On the other hand it involves taking about 10 days off work (when I only get around 15 days all year!) and also leaving the kids at home for 2 weeks. I think I will give it a go but not bust my go-nads trying. Would be a nice holiday for the Mrs if I do get in.
There are now 10 (TEN) qualifiers for this Sunday's Semi-Final, & with 3 or 4 days still to go, it could easily reach 25 or 30, meaning 5 or 6 into the March 25th VLV Final to join the three who qualified last Sunday.
Those into this Sunday's Semi Final so far include two previous VLV Package winners, and some other very useful players, as well as Solack.

I feel like a little fish in a tank full of sharks !!!!!!!!!!
...and something else i want to add onto this, say you play during the day 4 £2.50 satties and qualify in 2 of them, the 1st one obviously goes into the target tournament but what happens to your 2nd entry? is it a cash equivalent or a ticket to use in a different target satty?
The qualifying structure seems to be working very well, & another 4 players qualified yesterday for Sunday's Semi Final, so 14 have now qualified for it, as follows, & congrats to them all.....
I think Sunday's Semi will have at least 30 runners (1 in 5 go through to the final), & there are 3 already in the March 25 Final, so we are almost over the single package threshold already. (1 x £10,000 package for every 10 runners).
Be really neat if we could get 2 packages, maybe even 3, from the March Final. March 25th should be a monsta day, can't wait!
Viva Las Vegas "Frenzy Satellites" have been added to the schedule with immediate effect. They cost £2.30, are unlimited rebuys, & generate one Quarter Final Seat for every £52.50 in the kitty.
Check the Lobby for Details ( they will appear in both the VLV Lobby, & Satellite Lobby), but I think they run right up to 8.25pm each evening, at 10 or 15 minute intervals.
Excuse the scanty detail, but this news came in late, & even the Viva Las Vegas Landing Page has not yet been amended to reflect it.
Best idea is to go check the Lobby anytime after mid-morning today, until I know better what thr score is.
More news as & when fully confirmed, but it IS a goer.
Morning tennispair. Sorry, but I don't actually know the answer, I would suggest you contact Customer Care. If in doubt, I would advise against qualifying for something you may be unavailable to play. Go win that Vegas package now, take it downnnnnnnnnnnnn Posted by Tikay10
Thanks for the response tikay!
Good Job on adding the frenzies for those that work
EDIT: partly answered my own question, to test the water i played 2 of the micro satties and qualified in both, 1st one i got the entry to the target satty and in the 2nd one i got the cash equivalent!

The first Semi-Final is TONIGHT!
10 runners already, & 1 in 5 get a seat, so there will be at LEAST two go through to the Monthly Final, probably more, because there are Satellites all day today.
Thoe in so far (@ 9am Sunday) are listed below.
Good luck all!
Good morning.
After the first Semi-Final, THREE players made it through the the VLV Final on Sunday March 25th.
Daily satellites from as little as £2.50 run daily, & these satellites feed into the Semi-Final this coming Sunday, 11th March.
Further Semi-Finals will take place on Sunday 18th, & Sunday 25th, with the first 2012 VLV Finsal being on Sunday 25th.
Three weeks from now, at least one player will be celebrating victory, & looking forward to their trip to Vegas with Sky Poker.
Three players have already booked seats in the first VLV Final on March 25th, but there are three semi-finals feeding into that, (on the next three Sundays) so plenty of time to join them.
