A $135 Satellite, Four Players Left, and Two Ring Holders Still Standing

A $135 Satellite, Four Players Left, and Two Ring Holders Still Standing

The cheapest path to a Landmark seat is down to its final four at the Horseshoe — and the résumés at this table have no business being in a micro buy-in.

It's past 4 AM at the Horseshoe, four players remain in a $135 satellite, and the most credentialed one at the table has $504K in career earnings.

Event #405 — the $135 Daily NLH Landmark Mega Satellite — is four-handed and grinding toward a Main Event seat that costs roughly 50 times the buy-in. The cheapest entry on the entire WSOP schedule, and the field has been chewed down to a final table that reads like it belongs in a much bigger tournament.

The Table

Frank Lin leads in lifetime résumé: one WSOP Circuit ring, $504,109 in career cashes, and 15 final-table appearances. He's the quiet headliner here — a player with half a million in earnings sweating a $135 flip.

Frank Lin has one Circuit ring, $504,109 in career cashes, and 15 final tables — and he's four-handed in a $135 satellite at 4 AM.

Who Else Is Left

Andrew Todhunter brings his own ring and $127,932 in lifetime earnings across seven final tables. Two ring holders at the same micro-satellite final table is the kind of coincidence that makes you double-check the buy-in.

Pascal Gregoire, from Canada, has $212,960 in career cashes and seven final tables of his own — no ring, but a résumé that says he's been in these spots before.

Miguel Solano, representing Costa Rica, rounds out the four with $18,665 in lifetime earnings. He's the short-résumé underdog at a table where the other three have combined for over $844K in cashes.

Why You Should Be Watching

Four players. One Landmark seat. Two Circuit ring winners. A combined $863K in career earnings across the table — in an event that cost less than a decent dinner on the Strip.
