Only Tuesday, & we already have 3 runners in this Sunday's Semi-Final (1 in 5 progress to the Monthly Final on March 25th), the sooner you qualify, the better.
Cheapy-weapy satellites & feeders are running every day.
The three in this Sunday's Semi-Final so far are.....
Can it just be clarified how he residue cash gets distributed please. At the moment there are 13 runners and so normally you would expect 2nd to get £3k , however I seem to rmember that this was changed last year to avoid the cliff edge where first wins the packsge 2nd £9k and 3rd zilch. At the moment the lobby is just showing a first prize which can't be right but grateful for clarity. Many thanks.

WP Solly! u only need to worry about the 1st PLace imo
And ill be your +1, so u dont need to worry about that
Tikay any chance you could convince SKY to set a later £11 VLV qrt sat. My thinking is that this could be a sat for the following nights 1/4 final. There must be others like me that due to work and family commitments struggle to log on to play before 20.00. Posted by lammin

Good question Solly,
Any "residue cash" will be split 50%, 30%, 20%, though I am currently unsure how it works if there are less than 3 places to split it - say, 21, or 22 runners. I'll clarify tomorrow.
Good luck in Sunday's Final. About time you won one of these beauties.

Hi Lammin,
I will ask - but I very much doubt they will change the structure of the Satellites before this month's Final, next Sunday.
may be silly ? what are the dates for me Posted by jlj17
I'm not etirely clear what your question is, jlj.
There will be Viva Las Vegas Finals on Sky Poker THIS Sunday, plus two more, being one each, probably on the last Sundays of April, & May.
When is the actual trip?
To a degree, winners can choose what date to fly out, & return. Normally they arrive 2 or 3 days before the Main Event starts, & stay in Vegas for 10 or 12 days. In most cases, all the players fly to Vegas, & return home, on the same day - makes for more fun, meet up at the Airport, da de da, but thats optional I think.
The Sky Poker staff crew generally go a few days earlier, to get eveythiung ready for the players, & meet them at McCarron Airport in Vegas, sort out a Limo or Cab to the Hotel, help get them booked in to their rooms @ reception, etc.
That evening (inbound flights arrive mid afternoon) the Sky Poker staff usually hook up with the players to give them the low down on what is what.
Good luck in winning a package.
You can take a guest with you, if you wish, entirely up to you. Take a guest & it costs you some of your spending money, don't take a guest = more spending money.
2 players qualified last night for this week's semi-final, which is at 5.30 this Sunday......

Well done both. Quallies continue daily, right up to Sunday, for the Semi, from which 1 in 5 go through to Sunday's 9pm Final. 1 in 10 get a £10,000 package in that, & there are already 13 qualified for it. So, a chance of 20+ (there are usually several direct buy-ins), meaning TWO or more packages.
Next Monday, Sky Poker will be ringing the winners. "What day do you wish to fly out, from what airport, are you taking a Guest, we need your Pasport number to book your flights for you, da de da?"
I went out to vegas for the first time in November to watch my friend Sam Holden play the final table of the main. An exhillerating experience and thoroughly enjoyed every second I was there. For any poker fan, Vegas is truely the place to go - and I'm already itching to return!
Plus when you chop first place of a Ceasar's Palace poker festival event the 2nd day you are there and pay for the entire trip and return with a nice profit, you become very biased....

Meanwhile, the Final on March 25 already has eight runners. On that evening, at least one x £10,000 package will be awarded.
In the mix so far are these, which includes TWO previous VLV package winners..... TWO times baby!

A lucky 13 through to this Sunday's Viva Las Vegas Final now!
You still have all this week to get intio it, & satellites to suit most pockets are running daily.
