Playing Your Way In

David Conron is one of several players who has won his way into this Main Event through a satellite.

In fact, 46 players have already won their way in through qualifiers here at Seneca Niagara with three more qualifiers planned for 3 p.m., 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. today and a fourth for 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Conron has actually won two tickets to this event through these satellites. If he busts early today, he's likely to fire another bullet using the ticket.

Plus, since he can build a stack today and still come back tomorrow for Day 1b to try to build a bigger one, Conron will definitely find a way to use both.

He also says the fact he has the second seat as insurance might effect his strategy as they day wears on. Depending on how many chips he has he might decide to ramp up the aggression to go big or go home and try again tomorrow.
