The world's largest online poker site, PokerStars, has announced the launch of their World Series of Poker (WSOP) satellite tournaments, where, unlike other sites who are only offering only 150 main event seats and assorted freeroll entries, they will again send over 1,000 players to the WSOP's main event, and offer poker players the chance to win prize packages worth $12,500.
CASH BONUSES FOR TOP FINISHES
And that's not all. PokerStars qualifiers who make it to the final table at the WSOP Main Event will win an automatic cash bonus:
# A cool MILLION for bringing home the Main Event's first place trophy.
# $400,000 for finishing in Second place
# $300,000 for finishing in Third place
# $200,000 for finishing in Fourth-Fifth place
# $100,000 for finishing in Sixth to Ninth place
Cash bonuses of up to $50,000 also are available if a sponsored player makes it to a WSOP "TV table."
"If I didn't win a $39 satellite on PokerStars, I would have been on the sidelines at the 2003 WSOP," said Chris Moneymaker, who rode his PokerStars prize to victory in the Main Event.
"This year's prize package is even more incredible and the prize pool is set to be its biggest yet," he added.
Registered users can test their skills to win a ticket to the "Big Dance" for free, at PokerStars.net.
The full prize package also includes:
# $10,000 Main Event buy-in
# $2,500 for expenses
# Free hotel accommodations at the Palms for eight nights
# Hotel suite upgrades for Supernova and Supernova Elite VIP members
Holy fuck, once semester is over I am going to play every fucking satellite for this shit. I never knew Pokerstars pays for all hotel accommodations because I thought the $2,500 was for that. Nice!!!!
