First big ticket win!

Well, maybe not "Big Ticket", but something I've never done before for sure. I played in a $1 tournament called the "$26 Token Frenzy". It's a tourney that doesn't pay out cash, but instead gives you a free entry into any $24 + $2 game. It's something I would never (not at this point at least) actually spend money on to enter but the stakes can be quite large depending on what you enter.

I think I'm going to look for a game with a high guaranteed cash out at an odd time of day so there won't be too many people playing. I saw one last night that was a $17k guarantee that started at 1am. It paid 90 positions and top money was $4500. Not too bad. A payout in one of these would go a good way into the Ferguson Challenge.

There are also satellites into the FTOPS events that would be awesome if I could pull it off. The FTOPS Main Events can have huge payouts. Like $1.5M guaranteed, and you get to play against people like Phil Gordon and Jennifer Harmon.

Not sure which I'll do first, but I'll definitely play in more $26 Token Frenzy's and see if I can earn more tokens.
