And if you were to win another step 6, you'd get the money in the form of T$ dollars. Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.
In general, if you win a seat to a live event such as the PCA at PokerStars, you
must play the first seat that you win. Your first seat is not refundable or transferable. This of course applies to Step 6 tournaments as well as any other satellite.
If you win a second seat to a special event, you'll get W$ to the value of the seat.
WSOP 2009 satellites are a long way off and we don't have dates yet. There may be a similar 'must play' requirement (although in the last two years there hasn't been due to Harrah's policy on third-party registrations).
