WSOP Satellites
Who wouldn’t want to play in the biggest tournament in the world? Playing in the 2010 World Series of Poker is most poker players biggest dream. However, with a $10,000 buy-in many players bankroll simply cannot stretch that far, leaving them only one chance of achieving many players’ dreams. Qualifying through online satellites. I’m sure at whichever online poker room you play at, you will have seen tournaments running which awards players with a seat at the prestigious event. Poker rooms know many people cannot afford the travel and expenses, let alone the buy-in, so they put on numerous satellites to give players the chance of winning their way to the 2010 Main Event for pocket change. |
Most rooms even pay for your flights, accommodation and spending money to give you a terrific experience.
The best room to try to qualify is undoubtedly Pokerstars. They offer hundreds of seats for the Main Event so you easily have the best chance of qualifying through this site. If you login to the Pokerstars software and click Tourneys then Satellites you will see the magnitude of tournaments they have on offer to give players as many chances as possible to fulfill their dream. The one thing most rooms require you to do is to wear apparel which is sponsored by them. This is a very small demand made by the room and one that shouldn’t be a problem to most players. However, if you play the Event by simply buying in yourself, you can sell advertising space on hats, shirts etc that you will be wearing for quite a large fee, almost enough to pay for your buy-in. It does all depend on your stature in the poker industry, but even an unknown player can negotiate a huge deal if they fight their way through to the final table or if they are lucky enough to be on the televised feature table. Other rooms where you can qualify for the 2010 WSOP are Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker and Bodog Poker. |
