Poker Stars "Guinness Book of World Records" attempt - 35k person poker tourney

[nevadanick]

Last chance to enter is coming up very soon. As of this writing, registrations are almost 33,000 and it will close at 35,000.

Only 2,000 to go and that should fill it up in the next hour or two.

Hurry, hurry.

 

[nevadanick]

the buy-in is to high for me

Don't have a big BR? There are hundreds of satellites, MTT's and SnG's running 24/7 for FPP points and low buy-ins ($1.10 and 2.20). They will even have some 'no rake' SnG's coming up.

Starting 12/28 AM they will offer some really low buy-in MTT qualifiers. I saw some at 11cent, 22c, 33c, 44c, 55c and 66c, all with NO RAKE. Check the full satellite listings from the tourney lobby.

If the seats fill for they tourney, a ticket won in the satellites is normally good for T$ in the amount of the buy-in, $11 in this case.

I am registered for this as well as the 10k player SNGs - Should be good practice for the world record tourney.

 

[UnknownFlush]

Hmm... This is so going to be fun, the tournament is full now

 

[MDTed]

It's overfull now. Looks like they aren't going to stop at 35,000 entrants.

 

[UnknownFlush]

Well MDTed, they already stop, hope they increased the seats, but no doubt they will do that.

Good Bye 150k overlay!

 

[Jack Daniels]

Well it says registration is closed, so I'm guessing that the only people that can still get in are those that use the remaining sattys. They've clearly stopped the general entry otherwise at the pace they were going there would be 37k registered now and it's just over 35K which was hit at 9:20 AM ET (give or take).

On and yes, goodbye 150K overlay....sniff, now it's only $149,500.

 

[eNTy]

I regged this morning .

 

[eNTy]

Are there people being kicked out ?

 

[dj11]

I still like the idea of a 1 million player game at $1+.10 played hyper turbo, with starting chips at 300.

And paying only the top 100.


BTW, if you are in this, and forget about it for some reason, it is very likely you will finish ITM due to the outrageous payout structure.

 

[Dwilius]

Are there people being kicked out ?

I'm sure alot of people will unregister. Either sattied and want T$ or won't be able to make it...

 

[Freakakanus]

Oh well, I missed out... tried to satty in once and didn't make it, thought there'd be plenty of time to regg. but alas it was not to be....

 

[eNTy]

I'm sure alot of people will unregister. Either sattied and want T$ or won't be able to make it...

Right.. Forgot about unregistering

 

[GeoffLacey]

So frustrating. Finished 5th in a satty when top 4 qualified Just keeping my fingers crossed I get ridiculously lucky in the 10k SnG

 

[UnknownFlush]

Next year of the tournament they should increased it with over 50k seats.

 

[bubbasbestbabe]

Well I'm in. Haven't played at Stars for a while. Have been letting my mojo for there cool down a bit. Should be just right now to play there with it.

Too much time hyping the OFC, eh? I've bumped this one all week and even hyped it once in an LPS Challenge thread.

Bad Boy ... <spank, spank>

Stars cancelled all the rest of the sats to the event. I thought they might leave them open for the $11 T$. Guess not.

The $10,000 added 10k player SnG's are still running this weekend. $1.10 buy-in. Alternating a 10 min blind one with a 5 min turbo one. Check it out. 15% payouts.

 

[ChurchSkiz]

I meant to reg yesterday and it was full when I went to sign on.

I whored the tourney lobby page and managed to still make it in. If you want to play but can't reg because it's full, PM me and I'll tell you a cheap way to still get into the tourney.

p.s. I mean cheap as in dirty not cheap as in inexpensive.

 

[NascarFanSS]

Well it is staying at 35k steady now....it took me most of the night trying here and there to press that register button when it popped up...about the time I headed towards that X to close out and go to bed I seen it one more time clicked and got in so I don't know any dirty ways of getting in but I made it in the old fashion way....see ya there and lets kick some ass!

The only way to enter it now is as NevadaNick said. You need to sit in the lobby and wait for the entries to drop to 34999 because someone unregistered and be quick on the uptake. I was just in there to confirm the start time and while I was looking at the lobby it was at 35k and dropped to 34999 for about 4-6 seconds before going back to 35k. So it's not impossible yet, but no one is going to get in any legal/ethical way by doing anything else unless Stars (at the last minute) opens the flood gates. But since Stars has specific concerns about the servers handling over 35k entries, I can't see that happening.

 

[bubbasbestbabe]

Or I could sell you my seat for $10,000.

 

[angelaus]

If you were any kind of host/ess you would let your guest play FOR you as you'll be busy making dinner and serving drinks. ...
