Paradise Poker FREE million dollar tourney

CaptSensible · #1 08-19-2005, 02:37 AM

I just saw a commercial for paradise poker. They have a FREE million dollar tourney.

Have any of you played this? How many people in?
How are the payouts?

Worth it to sign up to paradise?

Here's the LINK

You have to make the final 10,20, or 30 of a 1300-2000 person freefoll to qualify for the 4000 person final.

I was lucky to get in on my 3rd try while clearing a bonus I had sitting around but there are probably better uses for your time.

I also quailfied while clearing a bonus. I'm not really expecting anything though, unless the deck decides to be a lot nicer to me than it's been recently.

The field is going to be 3,240. Top 500 get paid, but only the top 50 get money that actually matters ($500+). Pretty crappy payout for a 2-day event (unless you make it to the final 10).

I can tell you that if you do make it among the last ten you are in for a great experience. I made it in Paradise Masters I and it was the greatest experience of my life. Everything was just awsome - the hotel, the players, the country (Costa Rica) , the staff , playing poker for large sums on the beach- and the fact that everything was free!

And no - I am in no way associeted with Paradise poker

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 just played the 1 am satellite and qualified on my first attempt,and I have to say I'm pretty psyched. Not only do I get to take a day or two off from work, but I get play for a MILLION dollars. The $50 payout for 100-500th place isn't great, but hey, we didn't pay to get in either! Good luck to any other 2+2ers involved!

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 really hope you're not specifically taking off work just to play in this thing.
