Is there a cap on the number of seats in Round 2?

What a bad beat. I wanted to push the first hand, didn't notice the screen popped out and it was folded to me. I pushed the 2nd hand and won. WTF?

i counted 32 sats paying 50 each, for a "cap" of 1600, being that it will be exactly 1600

I just looked and there are 5 Round 3's (one a month). So it's going to be 1600 in all 5 of them?

Would this be correct?

Round 1 - 10,000 entrants - 50 winners
Round 2 - 1600 entrants - 320 winners
Round 3 - xxxx entrants - 120 winners

yeah, except round 3 will be 4x320 entrants (once a week) for 1280 entrants, and only 5-6 winners (for 27 total in the live event). The round 3s also give other prizes though, namely pca seats to 6-9 and cash to the top 80.

seems like the really really hard part of this is winning round 1. Winning round 2 should be actually quite easy, assuming standard satellite incompetence, which in fact should be magnified by the fact that it will be full of people who play freerolls. I wouldn't be surprised if you could fold in from the start, heh. Winning an actual seat in the round 3 will also be pretty difficult, since only 5-6 out 1280 get one. But round 1 will be infinitely harder than round 2.

I think I'll just sign up for Round 1 whenever I see it going, sit out for the first hour or so, and then try to get lucky.

You know, because Gigabet would really care about a freeroll. Really. Yeah.
