Satellite qualifier turns $10 into $411,843
Over at GGPoker and unknown player has parlayed $10 into almost half a million dollars, taking down one of the toughest MTTs online.
The satellite remains the greatest organic marketing device we have in poker and this week we have seen one of the great satellite spin-ups.
A player from Austria has turned a $10 satellite into a $411,843 payout and a GGMillion$ High Roller title.
"72oooo" crushed a field of 210 players in the $10,000 buy-in event, and also bagged a $10k WSOP Paradise package for his efforts.

A stacked final table
His satellite spin-up started in a $10 feeder to a $108 satellite, which he then won to capture a $1,050 ticket, which he spun into a $10,000 GGMillion$ seat.
10x-ing satellite tickets three times in a row was already impressive; all that was left was beating 209 of the best players in the world on his way to the life-changing payout.
The final table included Manuel Carvalho, Chris Rudolph and WSOP Paradise champion Bernard Binder. You can watch the video of the final table here.
We don't celebrate big satellite wins enough in poker, and this is one of the great satellite spin-ups in the game.
