Default Re: Free money (if you like tournaments)

yes, it appears under special tournaments. After the required hand is reached, go there and wait a few minutes.

A grey pop-up will tell you that the hand has been reached and that the tourney is about to start. be patient. Usually takes a minute or two.

Yes, it fills really fast, but if you are prepared, it's no problem. The last two took a couple minutes to fill. I suspect this will get worse (maybe in part due to things like this post, silly me)

If anyone wants an estimate, I suspect the next one will satrt registering at 5-6PM ET, and the tourney will start at 7:00 ET (Party lobby time). Don't hate me if this estimate is off.

It's also not a bad idea to have ten tables open around that time. The table that plays the hand in question splits a big prize ($200,000 for hand 3 billion) and though it's a longshot, might as well maximize your chances.

edit - some quick math that might be wrong. If (estimating high) everyone goes nuts and Party has 10,000 tables playing for hand 3 billion, and you are on ten of them, that gives you about a 1/1000 shot at $20,000. In other words, it's worth about $20 to do this. Someone correct me if I am missing something. Oh, just thought... not sure of the promo deatils, but it might be hugely advantageous to pick shorthanded tables. This all applies to the other prize hands too, although to a leser extent.
