I realize it's a freeroll. All I'm saying is that you might not want to put in too much effort to qualify for this thing, since it would be two days of tournament play for what most likely will be very little reward.

I dunno, getting in means a 1 in 3200ish shot of winning a million dollars. When are you going to get better odds than that? As for myself I tried one time and finished 31th with the top 30 getting into the tourney. That kinda hurt. I don't play on Paradise so that is my only shot.

I haven't looked at the specifics of this tourney...but I just assumed that the total prize-pool was $1-million.

Does first place pay $1-million?

Yea 1st is $1 million then a STEEP drop off, it is basically winner take all.

P.S. Isn't it 31st not 31th?

1st = $1,000,000 (plus a free vacation for two to mystery tropical location)
2nd-10th = $10,000 (plus a free vacation for two to a mystery tropical location)
11th = $1,000 12th-50th = $500
51st-100th = $100
101st -500th = $50

And on that note, do you have to pay to travel to this thing? I mean, if you do, this would be an almost sure money-loser of you don't make the final table.

Um, hit the freaking link.

Oh, never mind, it's much easier to just type whatever the hell comes to mind.

Yeesh.

From the site that's linked above: [ QUOTE ]
The 10 players at the final table will be taken on an all-expenses paid luxury vacation to an exotic Paradise location to finish the remaining portion of the tournament face-to-face in front of the tv cameras. The winner will walk away one million dollars richer.

I won a seat on the third try. Since that was the sum total of my tourney experience I've played a few times since.

I also played in the 1am satellite last night. After a couple suckouts, I had a good stack. It was a cakewalk after that. Qualified first try. I'll have to send my mom if I make the final table, lol.

I played the freeroll a few weeks ago. About a dozen hands in, I turned top set and got into a raising war with another turkey, putting us all in. All he had was a gutshot draw. He filled it on the river. All I can say is that I'm glad I didn't make it further into the tournament, wasting even more of my time.

Yeah I want to try this just for the minute chance that I'd make the final table and my dad who is utterly clueless about poker would get to go play at a final televised table.

Do you have any idea of how sweet that would be? Just imagine how much fun the WPT forum would have trying to analyize his play.
