In the news section in the lobby it states "satellites" daily from $2.

Can someone point me in that direction because I can't see any satellite MTT or SNG that will pay a $275 coupon.

Hi,

I'm writing here to every player on the network can know whats going on with live seats.

I won last month MTT Grand Final Toruney, a package to Australia, but today is 9th of January and I have no information of the travel. No tickets, no money, no entries, no e-mails...

At first, I was contacted by Carbon Support giving me the congrats for winning the Seat and asking me for details. But from there i had no answers for my questions, I don't know If I can go qith a guest or what, so here i am waiting.

I talked 100 times with Live Chat, wroted 100 e-mails to support but i get no answers and days are passing throw me.

I am very worried because I was really excited with the travel but now I don't know whats going on.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

I just hope to be contacted and to go there to play some poker...

Way to go ~ I knew it would work out, but didn't want to post because there would have been no comfort in those words. Glad everything was sorted and I hope you have a fantastic time and that the dealer is kind.

Please let us know how it went upon your return :)

Hi!

I'm back and I really want to thanks Carbon for everything. The trip was perfect, not as much the tourney, but when i felt bad about aussie, there were always someone of Carbon with a beer and a smile, and we really enjoyed all our trip.

What is poker, we were 5 carbon poker player who one the sit and one who paid it. We didn't know this one was in Melbourne playing the Aussie Millions until he was in the final two tables. He get 3rd prize, AWESOME.

4 of us started in flight 3 and 1 in flight 1. 3 of that 4 started at the SAME TABLE, so for at least 3 levels we were in a 9-handed table with 3 Carbon Poker players. We all get some chips and finished that table with 23k+- (starting stack 20k).

It was really difficult to play here, at least for me, its a complete different play that we play on internet, so i had to change my mind.

They moved players from tables, so i get into the featured table. There were some big names there like Phil Laak so I was very worried. As a featured table, people was all the time talking and bluffing so it was really difficult to play, and more with no chips. I enjoyed playing in that table at the end so i could play against Phil!!

I passed to the second day were i met a 18 years old girl who had a very big stack and played very well, amazing! (she got 11th being kicked AdQd vs Kd6d preflop)

Nice players, I wasn't so comfortable so in the middle of the day I lost.

All the 4 players had alredy lost, so they tried to get a smile from me so they have alredy thought that things I was thinking.

We get some beers, meet some aussie girls, went to the zoo, player party... I have a lot of nice memories about these days, I hope someday I can go somewhere with these people!!

Thanks Carbon!
