888 Poker God of the Arena $1M GTD Main Event ($50+5 progressive KO)

[Rolco]

Who will be playing in this tournament? It is on October 14th

If over 10,000 enter, which is likely to be the case, they are offering 19.98% of the prize pool for placings and the remainder will be related to the progressive KOs. It doesn't say in the tournament info how much will be paid out per KO at the start of the tournament.

It's interesting that they are capping entries at 18,000 but allowing up to 5 rebuys. To meet their 1m gtd from player contributions (less the entry fee), they will need 20,000 buy-ins total.

I will play it if I can classify. I do not plan to pay the buyin for now, since it would be playing outside of banking for me at this time. The structure of the tournament is not yet very well defined, it would be nice to know how much each KO will be paid

Yeah I may contact them to find out about the starting KO value. You can also satellite into this through a $3.30 and $5 sat. I'm going to try playing the free qualifier but will sat in if needed.

If I will be free on 14th then I will play it. At present I am having a $16.50 Big fish ticket won via free spin which is set to expire in 7 days and I am definitely going to use it within next 2 days.

I tried to qualify for this tournament . It's not working yet . 20,000 Baileys is serious, but I think the organizers of this tournament are not stupider than us , everything is calculated .

 

[veritasi]

i'll play if i'll win ticket, there are good freerolls for it now

I would like to play that tournament but keep running into bad luck with funds.

 

[Rolco]

They have fixed the reg info now, it will start at $25 for each KO.

Great tournament and value for the money to play it gl to all our cardschat fellows that are playing it.

It was an interesting experience since I don't play anywhere near these kinds of buyins, but I won an entry and made pretty good use of it.

I only got 2 bounties, the first one finally coming after 2 hours, but there were 2 or 3 times where I just missed a bounty because the other guy had just slightly more chips than me and was easy pickings for someone else.
I cruised past the bubble fairly easily then lost a big hand with QQ vs. AA and had to work short stack miracles to claw my way up 2 more levels.
I ended up cashing for $223.85 (including $37.50 for the bounties) so the 6+ hours of playing were well worth it.
It could have been better, but it could definitely have been worse too so all in all I'm satisfied as it's all free money since my entry was free.

I got in last minute won a seat with a $12 satellite the ticket from a freebuy tournament. I got down to ten big blinds shove AK and out against a set of Jacks ended up with three bounties good for $37.50. The overlay is big over $170000K not including all the freeroll tournaments in the past two weeks leading up to the main event.

I was busy in my niece Birthday party so because of time deficiency I could not play it.
Congratulations to all the players who cashed at least.
