I'm thinking about running a 5 seat scramble in NJ if there's enough interest.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking it should be 10 seats at least.

That's a $100K plus travel. Based on the largest guaranteed tourney's in NJ, I'm not sure it would hit $100K.

Glad to be proven wrong but I gotta see more to believe it.

Ppl w seats already should be allowed to play again for tourney $ or cash. You are losing a lot of entries due to this for ME qualifiers that are running on overlays. Please reconsider your policy. Ty.

Just wanted to chime in saying if you run this I'll play it. The greatest strategic advantage WSOP.com has is its branding and monopoly over WSOP ME satellites. I'm not sure why you guys aren't leveraging this way more than you are. Once June ends this advantage is gone for about 9 months.

moral: RUN MORE WSOP SATELLITES

What if you can't make it out there, can't sell the seat right.

I'm sure there would be interest either way.

Please do one of these for NV. I know we have the 25 seat one on July 5th but a smaller one with more time before the ME would be nice. I need a seat! (I came in second today

....but made 3k

)

Bill, is there any update on this? As you can see from the replies here there is definitely interest.

I'd also suggest running at least 1 more $27.5 rebuy satellite each week for the next couple weeks. If you added another $27.5 WSOP sat on Monday nights I think interest would be huge. We are less than a month away from the Main Event and many of us would appreciate more than 2 seats to fight over per week.

Make it happen please!

Not to be ungrateful but... why not do it the 21st instead of the 28th? At least then winners would have a chance to find airfare at a reasonable price and time to make hotel reservations etc.

Any thoughts on my suggestion of running the $27.5R WSOP ME qualifiers twice a week as well? Get a few more seats in play for us NJ players?

^^^ This

And...

Have a lot of 215$ Main Event WSOP seat tickets. Can we have those converted into regular tickets?

Bill,

What happens if a previous Main Event Sat Winner (myself) wins one of the 5 seats. Do all ME Sat winners get the 2k spending money or is it just these 5?
