I went on '01-'05. All entries were from single table tournaments. I used to play in the single table tournaments at the Horseshoe and the Mirage. I cashed 3 time in 5 years.

I have a couple friends who have played in it. They always won a tourney to get in. My cousin won a online tourney and flew out a couple years ago too.

Why would you NEED to know that?

**zlate22** · 11-16-10, 12:57 AM

What's the entry fee to get in? I think I remember seeing $2500?

**venice2222** · 11-16-10, 01:01 AM

I prefer to lose my money sportsbetting.

I never have. Pretty sure If I did try though I would make the final table, no doubt. I'm that good.

Main event of the World Series is 10k. One of my friends used to work in the poker media. He covered the WSOP world series of poker 2006-09, crazy times. Lots of parties and long days of poker.

I have yet to play in a WSOP event. Some day I dream to play.

Never played in it, but I have owned a percentage of a few guys the last 3 years, none of them went deep. 2008 I had a piece of a player who got 4th in a 1.5k event. I am a member of a forum for poker staking and we all buy shares of the player and he plays the tourney with our money

**lyc16** · 11-16-10, 04:20 PM

if you have 10 grand im sure u can get in.

**SamsNCharge99** · 11-16-10, 05:12 PM

At 16, I won my Dad a seat into the 2007 WSOP Main Event using pokerstars. He had free seat and airfare and all that stuff.

Got knocked out at the end of day 2...last session. Did not cash...cash that year was middle of Day 3, but did play with some pros and stuff.

That is only WSOP event he has played at

**forsberg21** · 11-16-10, 06:23 PM

Qualified in 2006 through a PokerStars double shootout for $160

If you really believed that you would come up with the 10K.

Or if you're that good you could enter a $250 tourney, win that and get in that way.

I know youre just kidding, but im just saying

I'd take the 12k or whatever it is instead.

**stevek173** · 11-16-10, 09:20 PM

I know this is aimed at me so fine I will spill. I used to play a lot in these events. I had some success.

Year Tournament Prize (US$)
1980 $10,000 No Limit Hold'em World Championship $365,000
1981 $10,000 Deuce to Seven Draw $95,000
1981 $10,000 No Limit Hold'em World Championship $375,000
1983 $5,000 Seven Card Stud $110,000
1997 $10,000 No Limit Hold'em World Championship $1,000,000

I got really strung out on yayo and alcohol multiple times throughout my success. Eventually it all came crashing down.

On Novemeber 22nd of 1998 I faked my own death. I moved to a remote island where the pussy is great and the drugs are greater. I miss the crew but I can't go back, it would be too complicated.

I wish all of you the best in all of your endeavors.
