Well If I could bink the sunday million 10x between now and then I'd probably jump in and hang with the pros :rofl:

I wonder if they will have a satty path for it, you know survive a fishfest winning top spot in a 10k entrants freeroll or fpp buyin 20x in a row to gain entry :D

Will be one hell of an event to watch on stream tho

Yea - maybe they will give us a freeroll to one of the smaller satellites where someone could try to work their way up to it. :)

Relatively not so many, because it's "just" a $1000 fee....
Though, CC members playing it or not....I really plan watching it.

True, guess I'd have to bink the sunday million 50x for this tourney to fall into the 100bi brm :p..... but obv if I could bink it 10x I'd be willing to bet I'm running hot and might as well take a shot and parlay 5% of the winnings into something bigger :D

I meant imagine winning a satellite to it lol
Ah, I see...yeah if I would satelite into it, I would definitely take the T$.

Don't know why, but I have a strong feeling if I play a $51000 buy in tournament, I would be playing scared money :D

I'd have a sneaking suspicion that if you satty into this one you won't be able to unregister :D, so I guess the plan is to satty in twice which wouldn't even be possible I don't imagine (as imagine all satties would lead into one big satty shortly before the event, but who knows what they have up their sleeves to offer) unless they decide to run 18k hyper 6max satties for it :rofl:

It amazes me that any site, even Stars, has 20 players that can afford a game like that.

I say 20 because historically, Stars always under guarantees its tourneys. Seldom is there any overlay. So Stars expects there will be more than 20 players...

Outof the top of my head I can give you about 20 players who will be there and maybe more.
This is not just well known pros (by name) who will play...
I'm pretty sure there will be at least 50 players....

Whoa that is a lot of Cheddar! I bet you it will be a huge tournament for the pro's and movie stars that's nothing for them. I would love to watch the final table when it happens. Can you still watch tournaments on poker stars? I have not played there in years. Usually chat is for players only.
