That sounds really nice. If only I could afford that high of a buy-in, I'd win some nice cash. Any player lucky to take first is definitely cashing out. Anyway, if anyone here will play the, tell me and I'll be happy to rail. That's a hell of a tournament right there.

Sounds like a great promotion, like boostmybankroll said the buyin is high for kids like us, but best wishes to all who play and take a share of the $125,000, great tournament.

How does one get into the 100 seats to the 100k tournament? Sound perdy cool, i might have to give it a try with ya a few times. Have yet to play in a big tourny on merge and certainly don't have the roll to buy in yet, at that rate, i would have to have at least 1k to fit the percentage i go by.

Oh ok i see, looked it up, so if you get 250 vip points you earn a free entry into the seats freeroll. Hmmm, wonder what kinda grinding that would require. I shy away from cash games. Can the points be earned through sitn go play maybe? Geez that would be some serious playing time lol

There is a freeroll qualifier where you can win an entry coupon to the Sunday 125,000 Guaranteed Freezeout. It used to be called the "100 Seats to the $100K" but now it to has been upped to the "125 Seats to the $125K" Freeroll.
To qualify for the freeroll you need to earn 250 VIP points between 00:01 on Sunday, and the freeroll start time of 15:00 on Saturday (both times are EST).

Go to "Player Admin" in your favorite Merge Network poker room and find "125 Seats to 125k".
To help you keep track the "125 Seats to 125k" page has a counter which shows your weeky progress towards 250 VIP points. Once you reach 250 points you can register directly into the freeroll.

I played in the 100 k tournament but i did not cash in..i played 2 times..once i wonn my seat from new depositors 500$ and after this from 100 seats to 100 k..hope in the future i will be able to play another big tournament as this and cash in,and now is much better I see is 25 K extra money

Please post the result if u are from this site and u win on this tourney we would be happy to see someone from out community win in a big tournament like this!

We should all play in a satellite for it one day and then everyone can rail the winner in the big game.

The site is makein money in these hard times til the landbased casino sites start up that is.

Very good news, more and more players are choosing Merge. 100 seats to 125K freeroll a great chanse to participate in the tournament. GL to all who will play in the 125K .

Its pricey but if you could win a seat into it be worth the try!

I played twice at the sunday 100 k and finish twice at the money the first time i take the prize from 500 $ and the second i have a good rate and reach 17 position and take the prize from 1000 $ and bouth time i win a coupons from some satelits for this tourney ! But the players at this tourney are really really good ! !

All you have to do is gain 250 points from rake or tournament entry fee's. Its not hard to do. If you get 250 points within one week, meaning Monday thru Sunday you will be able to register for the 125 seat freeroll on Saturday. You can check you status in your admin page under promo's.

Actualy the 250 points gets you in a freeroll and the top 100 players i think get a coupon for the 100,000 or now the 125,000 game , gl all getting there coupon .

Sorry to sound cynical, but if the prize pool is now routinely 149K, they aren't adding a thing by making it 125K instead of 100K. I have won seats to this twice and have found that, since most of seats are won, they play it like a free roll. If you are lucky enough to have a good hand in the early rounds when the idiots go all in, you may cash. I didn't.

Although the $109 $100K was getting about 1300 players, so this isn't really a big deal, I still think it's a good thing overall.

I'm pretty frustrated with the whole $100K/$125K sunday tournament myself. I've won entry into it probably 8 times and I've only cashed once for around $350 or something. I just decided to give up on it I guess and try to learn cash games, which is taking me longer than I thought it would. I've observed the game multiple Sundays and it requires at least 8 hours, probably 9, to actually win it. To me, this is not worth it anymore; my personal "time limit" for playing poker is 5 hours. After that, I'm too tired and need to get something to eat (I'm somewhat hypoglycemic). If it were like the old Poker Stars Sunday Million, where I could win WAY MORE THAN $20,000 (I guess it's $25K now), I might be able to justify it. $20K would definitely change my life, but it wouldn't be that big of a change.

Another frustration is RPM is my main site with rakeback (35%), and for some reason they don't run this 100/125 seats to the $100K/$125K freeroll at all. I got to Wind Level on Carbon which gives me 10% rake back but even so, I can't justify playing on Carbon any more, except for the freerolls and private forum money added games.

More players began to play, here and have increased a prize fund. I remember still when played it, overlay was approximately 20к. Good tournament, is pleasant to me. In general all is logical, work in necessary a direction.

Nice tourney to play in, qualify a few times thru the 100k fr..never itm yet but close..i like the 5k buyin and late reg..you can take your time for good hands and right pos.. play

I have never had a chance to play in this yet. It is just too expensive to buy in.

Blah...I would never be able to get 250 vip points in a week to get a chance at a seat, but I know a few ppl who play it every week and it takes some grinding.

i like the change from 125 to 100 that helps a lot man

They are getting plenty of players with increased traffic apparently so they just boosted the freeroll entries to match the increased guaranteed prize pool. They must be getting it covered every week or they probably wouldn't have done it.

I have won a couple seats to the 100k, came in 54th for $300+ and used the other ticket for something else,

They saw Pokerstars increased they prizepools and after they decide to do the same. :D
