That main event is with just 4000 seat max and a $10.000.000 Guaranteed prizepoot it sounds like an exciting tournament to play, even if it's online :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Re: pokerstars WCOOP Extreme Satellites (added value) Anybody tried any of these yet? I've entered a $27 satellite for a $215 seat starting in about five minutes, with 100 seats added. About 1400 in so far, so it looks like pretty decent added value, though there's 20 minutes late registration. I haven't actually checked that there are any $215 events that I can play, but what the heck? :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Re: pokerstars WCOOP Extreme Satellites (added value) Late reg closed. 2259 entries, so total buy-ins 2259 x $27 = $60993. 362 qualify, plus a $145 consolation, so total payout: (362 x $215) + $145 = $77975 or (362 x $200) + $145 = $72545 if you discount the rake on the buy-ins. Not too bad, though I'll have to start doing a bit better than I have in the first 25 minutes ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
