6,800 at the break.

I'm in. Good luck all!

Congratulations! I'd echo the comments from those saying not to sell yourself short. Final tabling a tournament of that size is no mean feat.

I managed to sat into Event 1 at the first attempt, although I'm still deciding whether to play as it starts at 2am my time and I'm supposed to be in work fairly early tomorrow morning. I think I'm leaning towards playing, though.

Just the Double Deuce and the 200k for me I think. Good luck all!

I'd love to be a part of this, but totally understand people's stance on wanting it to be established members of the community only. I'm sure you won't struggle to get the full 40, but please do give me a shout if you need somebody to make up the numbers.Either way, excellent work dna4ever; it's great to see something like this giving people the chance to play on the big stage. Good luck to all the runners. I'll be following the thread with interest.

Congratulations to all those selected, I'll look forward to reading about your progress. Major props to cardcore for investing that kind of money in a way that will give so many players a chance to raise their game. Good luck all!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm seriously considering yelling: ...from now on whenever I have somebody's hand dominated, whether there's a Ben in the near vicinity or not.

...and I'm gone. Good luck to the rest of you.

9739 at the 2nd break.

It's been up and down for me, but I'm back to where I started: 5070 at the break.

I'm in. Good luck all.

Wow, congratulations!

Congratulations on your finish -- truly an astounding achievement. Incredibly harsh way to go out, but you should be truly proud of what you've achieved. Onwards and upwards!
