Buckley Andrews Wins $135 Landmark Mega Satellite at the WSOP

Buckley Andrews has no bracelets, no rings, and no recorded tournament earnings — and he just won a Landmark seat through the cheapest satellite path on the 2026 WSOP schedule.

Andrews, from the United States, took down Event #131, the $135 Daily NLH Landmark Mega Satellite, at the Horseshoe/Paris complex in Las Vegas on May 30. The win converts a three-figure buy-in into a direct entry to the Landmark — the WSOP's marquee multi-day tournament with a price tag that dwarfs what Andrews paid to get there.

The final field was stacked with players in a similar position. Among those who also earned seats: Chayan Alavi (US), who has no recorded earnings; Gintaras Valuntinas (Great Britain), whose lifetime tournament record shows $507 in cashes; Dante Prado De Oliveira (US), with $1,216 on file; and Stefan Grondei (Germany), another player with no recorded results. Not a single bracelet or ring among them.

The $135 mega satellite is the bottom rung of the WSOP's Landmark feeder ladder — designed to give low-stakes players a shot at the biggest events on the summer schedule. Andrews is proof the ladder works.
