Btw ive observed that the only way to get the COMPLETE cruise package (by this I mean holiday AND Main Event entry instead of just the holiday) is to win a LEOTOP seat and nominate the cruise as your event you wish to participate in.

They have satellites for these thing all the time every day but youll have to go through several tournies to get in but they start from very little $$$ but the lower down you start from the worse chance you have...


How Do I qualify?


You can win an LEOTOP ticket via the $900 + $50 Weekly Final, which is held every Wednesday at 19.45 GMT/BST. One Ladbrokes European Poker Team ticket will be awarded for every $9,000 generated in the prize pool.

You can qualify for the LEOTOP Weekly Final through a range of LEOTOP Satellites that are available:

Thursday – Tuesday

10.10 $10+$1 LEOTOP Daily Rebuy (1500 Chips.12 Min Blinds. 60 mins of Rebuys, 1 add on)
12.10 $10+$1 LEOTOP Daily Rebuy (1500 Chips.12 Min Blinds. 60 mins of Rebuys, 1 add on)
14.10 $10+$1 LEOTOP Daily Freezeout (1500 Chips 12 Min Blinds)
16.10 $10+$1 LEOTOP Turbo Rebuy ( 1000 Chips 3 Min Blinds Rebuys first 30 Mins)
17.10 $10+$1 LEOTOP 2nd Chance Express Satellite ( 100 Chips 1 rebuy in first 5 Mins)
19.45 $95+$9 LEOTOP Daily Final (1500 Chips 12 Min Blinds)
21.40 $10+1 Turbo rebuy feeding into the next days Daily Final.

Wednesday’s

19.45 $900+$50 LEOTOP Weekly Final (2000 Chips 15 Min Blinds)
Direct Buy-in $9,000.


So basically you need to get yourself into a Daily final ($95 buy in or via cheap satellite) IF you progress from the daily final you will be in the weekly final where you win the LETOP package (which you redeem as a full cruise package)

This will probably be my chosen route of attack (im personally not THAT bothered about going on the cruise unless I play in the Main Event so LEOTOP qualification is the way id go).


14.10 $10+$1 LEOTOP Daily Freezeout (1500 Chips 12 Min Blinds)

19.45 $95+$9 LEOTOP Daily Final (1500 Chips 12 Min Blinds)

19.45 $900+$50 LEOTOP Weekly Final (2000 Chips 15 Min Blinds)


The top 10% from each tourny will progress.

So you get a shot at the $9000 package through an original $10 attempt.


Im in no rush to start qualifying as yet though, its not for just over a year still. PLUS last time, the earlier you qualified the better a cabin you got, wheras this time every qualifier gets a balcony whenever you qualify

Last time super early qualifiers got the balconies. Early qualifiers (me) got a window. Mid-late qualifiers got no window. Last chance qualifiers (Jezza) get to camp in the boiler room and stoke the boiler.

This weeks weekly final has 4 added packages to celebrate Ladbrokes 5th birthday.

The problem is of course qualifying.(unless you pay the $660 entry fee). The daily final costs $66 to enter or qualification is by $5 sats. In the final though there is one $25 rebuy and one $25 add-on. Both these get 2000 chips, the same as the starting amount. I can only guess the reasons for this are to help the better players as the stacks get deeper. It basically means that any qualifier through the cheap sats then has to commit the extra $50 to play the final.

If any player can get to the weekly final this week or is prepared to buy in there looks to be good value.

The package is also only for the cruise. Entry to any tournaments has to be paid for or won later.
