| Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) is an example of how great satellites are for the poker community, giving players an opportunity to play in events they may not have (without the reduced entry cost). |
Pedro Palacio (Coconut Creek, FL) is a tournament regular across the numerous poker rooms in the surrounding area, playing in a wide array of events, ranging from buy-ins of $80 to $2,500. Now his comfort zone didn't always include the $1,000+ buy-in events, but a score earlier this year helped change that. After winning entry into the $3,500 No Limit Hold'em Championship Event during the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown (via tournament leaderboard at Coconut Creek), Palacio proceeded to reach the final table of the event. Pedro ended up finishing in 8th place, seeing a very healthy return of $86,740 (his largest lifetime cash). Considering he didn't have to even buy into the tournament (out of pocket), the profits were even higher. Pedro now has over $382,000 in lifetime earnings, with over $128,000 of that coming from this year's results.
Pedro's presence is a good segue into today's satellite for Event #1, which just started at 2:00pm. The $55 No Limit Hold'em Satellite gives players the opportunity to enter this $200 No Limit Hold'em "Monster Stack" for a fraction of the price. The satellite is structured with 10,000 unit starting stacks, (20) minute levels, and registration that is open through Level 8.
Registration for this opening flight of Event #1 will be closing in less than an hour, at which point, we will bring you official numbers.
