Its a really cool thing, for a 1.10 you can buy into a sng with 50 players and if you make it to 1st place you get to play a $50000 free roll, of course I made first place yesterday so im in. its also cool because 7 places pay out, so not only did I win a ticket into the free roll I also got $15.50 added to my account. Which is really nice, I played 2 games came in 4th on my first try so if I can place I know dam well most CC players can place this game.

Funny thing is poker stars lately has been really nice to me, dont know if its more loose players or Im just getting some really good hands, but I have noticed my bank roll going up on poker stars, as opposed to full tilt where they have just been giving me the shaft lately, I made a 10 dollar deposit on full tilt cause they had a promo going where you make a quick deposit and receive 20 dollars cash, I had to fight like hell with them to get that 20 bucks, I went and made my deposit and it said you will get your 20 bucks in 4 hours, well 4 hours goes by, no 20 bucks, 1 day goes by no 20 bucks, I email them and say hey man where is my 20 bucks, I get an email back saying that I had to make a deposit on or before the 5th of Sept. to get the 20 bucks, I almost put a bullet in the computer, thank god that I actually saved the email that sent them on the 6th of Sept. asking them if I qualify, they sent me one back that said yes you have until the 12th of Sept. How shady for them to pull that, I will never make another post as far as full tilt promos go, had I not saved that email they would have shafted me out of 20 bucks. I still like full tilt, but thought I would just give you all a heads up. Make sure you save all your emails from poker sites. cheers from madness.

OP, it's not a freeroll. There's a prizepool that gets shared between all the winners. The same promo as it was at 40b albeit with an extra 10k in the prize pool.

i just watched one of the milestone hands. so the winner of the hand gets a prize or something. and everyone at the table went all in it was pretty funny. one guy like quadrupled up on that hand just cause he got lucky and hit a set.

believe everyone dealt in gets 50$ x the vips they earned while at the table. Then if you win the hand it's doubled. the 50 billionth hand will be the big one netting 50,000$.

I just watched a milestone hand at a .50/$1 omaha table. Half the table didn't know what was going on even tho they paused the action before the hand. LOL. Even the clueless people who folded pre-flop won at least $1,000 bucks each.
