$140+14 entry fee, the Crypto sites added 100% minimum in the form of extra seats to each satellite. I think there were five separate satellites in total. I entered two of them, only because I woke up too late to play the earlier ones, in the first I came 46th/400 with 8 seats available, the second one however I finished in the top 5 from 221 runners to secure the package. After my well-documented failures in the WSOP events I've entered so far it was nice to restore a bit of confidence in my game and of course lock up a Main Event seat and 15 nights free accomodation here at the Rio. Also, it's a bit of a milestone for me as it's the first time I've actually won a package to a Main Event in an online satellite, and over the past two years I have entered more than enough of them.

The highlight of the last four days was winning a $14k Main Event package on Betfair on Saturday night.

Rio, Las Vegas, Sat 15/Jul/06 - Mon 17/Jul/06(3) Regulations & Restrictions
It does seem that our land based qualifier in Sweden may not go ahead as the legal eagles are uncomfortable with hosting an event over there. It's not that it is illegal for us to hold the event it's just that it's hard to get clear guidelines that show it is legal so, as with many areas of gambling law, we are in a bit of a grey area. William Hill would rather not risk anything that could result in gaming related problems so it looks like we are going to go with three qualifiers in England and one in Ireland.

The Beagle Bulletin – Part I
houston, we have a problem
Howdy, folks. Due to the inevitable pressures of live updating, uploading blogs, maintaining results & news, etc, I thought it naïve to commit to a diary of any kind, even if this is my first trip to Vegas. However, the more my eyes widen by what I witness over here, the more obligated I feel to jotting down a few thoughts. And, well, here it is, ‘The Beagle Bulltin’.
