The Colombian pro is the most credentialed player at a Mega Satellite final table that has no business being this stacked.

Farid Jattin has $2.26 million in career earnings and nine final tables — and right now he's grinding a $1,100 satellite like it's a bracelet event.

The Colombian pro is seated at the final table of Event #129, the $1,100 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Landmark Mega Satellite, down to seven players. This isn't the $10K Championship. It's not even a ring event. It's the on-ramp — a satellite whose entire purpose is to hand out Landmark seats. And Jattin is treating it like a main course.

The Table Is Absurd

Jattin isn't even the scariest résumé here. Daniel Heimiller — three bracelets, two Circuit rings, $4.46 million in lifetime earnings, 33 final tables — is also at this final table. So is Thomas Taylor, a Canadian with $1.91 million in cashes and 21 final tables. Richard Green rounds out the known names with $670K and seven final tables of his own.

Four players with a combined $9.3 million in career earnings. At a $1,100 satellite. For Omaha Hi-Lo.

The counter-take is obvious: satellites are +EV for strong players, so of course pros fire them. Sure. But there's a difference between "rationally correct" and "telling." When a three-bracelet winner and a $2.26M Colombian pro both show up at the same $1,100 feeder, it says something about how seriously the Landmark events have landed on the WSOP calendar. These aren't throwaway entries on the schedule anymore. Players with serious résumés are planning satellite paths into them.

What It Actually Means

The Landmark format was designed to create big fields and big prizes at accessible buy-ins. If the satellites feeding those events are attracting Heimiller-level credentials, the main events themselves are going to be deeper and tougher than the price tag suggests.

That's great for the WSOP's marketing deck. It's less great if you're a recreational player who thought a $1,100 satellite would be soft.

Jattin and Heimiller aren't at this table because they need the practice. They're here because the seat is worth fighting for. That tells you everything about where the Landmark series sits in 2026.
