Default Re: You get that choice if you win a WSOP seat at Truepoker

I kind of had that situation last August when I won a TV Star tourney at Empire. The price was $17000.00 ($15300.00 for tourney entry at Bellagio 5 Diamonds + $1700.00 Cash). I did not have the choice that TruePoker offer but to me, it was obvious that I was playing the $15000.00 tourney. The $1700 was more than enough to cover my expenses to participate (I live 6 hours from Vegas) and the experience to sit in a big money tourney was really worth it. I learned quite a bit in the 10 hours that I played (190 out of 376) and was able to translate that into more winnings since (I won 3 mtts (60, 215 and 570 players)) compared to winning the TV Star and getting a 2nd place in a $5 tourney before. Can not wait to qualify for another big money so I can play more agressively as I was pretty weak tight in the Bellagio tourney.
