The 2010 World Series of Poker kicks off on May 28th at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. This year’s series will feature 57 tournaments, spread over more than a month, including the newly created “Poker Player’s Championship”, a $50,000 buy-in mixed games event.
For those of us that can only dream of a bankroll allowing entry to such high stakes poker events, there are plenty of ways to satellite into the World Series of Poker and you don’t have to wait around until May to do so.
This week, Full Tilt Poker have released their schedule of WSOP satellites, the highlight of which will see at least five $12,000 Main Event packages given away every Sunday between April 4th and June 27th, for just $1 + $0.10! Tournaments are scheduled to start at 13:30 ET (18:30 GMT) and if the direct buy-in of $1.10 is too steep for you, there are even smaller satellite events, from a ridiculously low 30 cents.
Full Tilt are also putting on two 81 player Shootout events per day, each offering a similar World Series of Poker Main Event package, for a buy-in of $200 + $16. Satellites to the daily Shootout tournaments also start from as little as a dollar. On June 20th, the 150 Seat Main Event Guarantee will take place, offering at least 150 $12,000 packages for just $69 + $6.
Titan Poker are offering World Series of Poker hopefuls the chance to qualify for the $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha championship event, in addition to their Main Event packages. The three day Omaha tournament begins on June 1st and the $13,000 package covers six nights accommodation, as well as flights, spending money and the tournament buy-in. $15 + $1.50 satellites to the $500 + $35 Super Satellites are already underway, with the next Super Satellite due to be played on April 16th.
Other packages on offer from Titan are the “Side Events Series”, which are worth $5,500 each and provide their lucky winners with the chance to play in both WSOP Event 49 and 53, the $1,500 and $1,000 No Limit Hold’em events. Nine days accommodation and $1,800 in spending money are included and Super Satellites for these packages can be entered for $200 + $15. Smaller satellites are already underway.
PokerStars are yet to release their World Series of Poker satellite schedule, but it is expected that the online poker giant will be sending more than 2,000 poker players to Vegas for the showpiece series.
Pacific Poker will be sending 88 players to WSOP 2010, and is known as one of the loosest poker rooms on the net which might make for an opportunity to go all the way.
Poker players have never had it so good.
Good Luck!
