Has anyone played in this before, Full Tilt 1$ Main Event seat qualifier? I won a seat and it looks like thousands of people are entered and it pays the top 5 12K. Is that cash or just an entry to another tournament? How did you play and any advice if you have any. Thanks!

It's a superduper donkament where 40,000 people enter, and 5 people get seats to the world series of poker Main Event. (FTP can't enter you into the wsop ME, so they give you 12,000$ instead) Would hate to be the bubble boy in that tourney.

So the $12000 is deposited into your account and you can withdraw it but not use it for the WSOP ME.

I used FT points to enter also, and won entry into the next round, like yourself, but never finished in the top 5 - not even close if I recall correctly.

I do play the FTP point satellites and win an entry in, and then withdraw the tournament dollar at times. Good way to convert FTP points into money if nothing else!

Maybe 'the idiot' won't get knocked out on the first day of MnEvent (afterall.... they obviously can run good, lol).
I don't understand how it is 'not worth it' to play in this? It's a frigg'n dollar with a chance at winning $12k & if you have any ability it's far better odds than any lottery ticket. Hell, you can even satellite into it for 30cents or FTP's. There's also a fairly large overlay in this tournament (around $30k I believe).
Can you imagine sitting on a table in the WSOP MainEvent from a 30cent investment? I think it'd be f'n awesome! (yah... I played it. No... I didn't win obv, lol (would I be posting here if I did?)).
I will continue to play it for as long as they run it (I think it's almost over now?). Can't win if you don't play & at $1 (or 30cents) you can't beat it imo. It's not like one needs to invest a bunch of thought while playing this tourney (no difference if already playing online, just add another table).

Where'd you find this info.^

My understanding is, you win a 12K MainEvent pkg. "&" get free accomadation while there! ($10k for buyin + $2k spending)

This was my understanding as well and I'm pretty sure is correct.

So the $12000 is deposited into your account and you can withdraw it but not use it for the WSOP ME.
Yes they deposit into your account its up to you to register for the ME but if you dont you lose all rights to all the other perks of winning your seat through their site.

No where near like hitting lottery, hitting the lottery is like 1 in a billion shot
this tournament which lately has been getting about 28,000 people is far better chance of winning I dont know how to figure out exact odds but its far better I'll risk the $1.

It'd be 1 in 5600 if you figured you didn't have an edge over the field. Personally I feel like it's more like 1 in 1,000 (probably better than that)... with close to $40k overlay.

Out in ~2,700th again today (getting down to between 2-3,000).

I watched a bit of the final table play out in this today..... poor guy with QQ losing to A9o.... sigh.... so close.... bubble with QQ... whoa! I'd be looking for the nearest bridge or perhaps a bus to jump under.
