Four Satellite Tiers, One Floor, All Feeding the Main Event

The Full Pipeline

Four Landmark Mega Satellites are running at once inside the Horseshoe right now, at $240, $585, $1,100, and $2,200, and together they represent the single largest pipeline of $10,000 Main Event seats being manufactured on any floor in the world.

The $2,200 NLH Landmark Mega Satellite (Event #429) is the headliner. It's down to 50 players chasing seats, making it the highest buy-in satellite still grinding on the floor. Among those still alive: Carlos Hernandez of Panama, who has three prior final tables and $29,787 in lifetime cashes, and Kevin Cook of Canada with $19,633 in career earnings.

The $1,100 Mega already wrapped, and among its field was Kenny Nguyen, a two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner with $1.08M in lifetime earnings and 14 career final tables.

Three More Tiers Running Beneath It

The $1,100 NLH Landmark Mega (Event #424) has already completed. Kenny Nguyen was in the field alongside Laksh Singh ($160,890 in career earnings) and Parminder Kumar ($96,842). Whether any of them converted into Main Event seats isn't confirmed yet.

The $585 NLH Landmark Mega (Event #432) is at its final table with eight players remaining. Sanjay Mayekar, who carries $124,956 in lifetime cashes and one prior final table, is still in contention.

The $240 Daily NLH Landmark Mega (Event #426) is the lowest buy-in tier and is down to its final table with six players left. Wesley Chen of Taiwan ($17,401 in career earnings) was among the named finishers.

Why This Matters

This is the satellite factory at full capacity. Four different price points feeding the same $10K Main Event, all running under the same roof on the same night. For players still looking for their path into the Main, the $2,200 Mega is the last one still actively dealing hands.

The $2,200 Mega Satellite should play down to its final seats in the early morning hours of July 5.
