Will "The Thrill&teen patti game development companyquot; Failla Accidentally Enters Tournament

On Monday night, the 2024 PokerStars North American Poker Tour Las Vegas Event #6: $360 NLH Unlimited Re-Entry attracted 89 players who rebought 17 times. The 106-entry field generated a prize pool of $26,700, and it was a familiar face coming out on top on Will “The Thrill” Failla, who claimed the Spadie trophy and $7,130 in prize money.

The real thrill of it all though was that Failla didn’t even mean to play the tournament. He registered thinking it was a $360 satellite into the $5,300 NAPT Main Event.

"I tried everything I could to go to dinner with my friends before the next $1,100 flight but I just couldn't lose a hand."

"I bought into the $1,100 event but there were no more rebuys," he told PokerNews. "I didn't want to wait around until about six or seven for the next flight. I thought there was a satellite to it, and I said, 'What's the next thing going right now? The satellite?' And she goes, 'The $360.' So I give her the money and next thing I know I'm a half hour in, win a couple of hands, and a guy says, 'How many people are in the satellite?' Someone said what satellite? You're not in a satellite. Get the f*** out of here. He says, 'Will, you're in a $25K guaranteed tournament, not a satellite.'"

Failla continued: "I said, no f***ing way. I said, can you pick me up seriously? He said I played hands and had chips so they couldn't. I tried everything I could to go to dinner with my friends before the next $1,100 flight but I just couldn't lose a hand. It really f***ed up right in a way. I haven't played a $360 tournament since I was like four years old."
