Official Satellites For Wsop Events Other Than Main Event Thread


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I haven't been here in ages! I hope the long time members on this site are doing well and the new ones are doing just as good.Playing a wsop event in 2005, a $1500 NLE was a great experience and time for me. I met a ton of pros, but I don't think that it was a wise choice to enter it because it was my whole bankroll pretty much! I went there with 3k and 2k was my bankroll I had made from $100 playing poker.Anyhoo.. I great way to get into WSOP events would be to enter a Satellite and try and get through to win an entry. Especially for people that don't have a $100,000+ bankroll.So I made this thread for people to post sites where there are Satellites for WSOP events (OTHER THAN THE MAIN EVENT) that they can register for. If you could also post the time and date of the event with time zone that would kick arse as well. Since there are tons of poker sites out there, this will help alot!p.s. when we get alot of info on all of the satellites running, I will repost it all in order of what site and have it all nice like. I might even post it on a website if that's even easier. Hmmmm I wonder if there is a site already out like this. :club: I'll start off..PartyPoker - $2 buy in WSOP sub qualifier - 1AM - Everyday

Bodog runs these $50+4 daily.5:05PM 7:05PM 9:05PM 11:05PM EasternThe overlay on these are fantastic! I've seen alot of 27 entry ones completed.

Thanks alot for the info Jsull! This is exactly the info I was talking about. That's good to know bodog are running these $50 sats for wsop events. I wish I would've seen this thread earlier before puttin the 50$ I deposited on bodog because they have a sportsbook and UFC 60 was playin that night. I never played poker there, but I think I'm going to have to for the WSOP Satellites.Any other sites or games you guys know of?add to the list :club:

This is an awsome thread, wish I could add anything, but I mainly play at Pacific and they only have one for the main event going every now and then.Still, the May WSOP leaderboard here at FCP gives you $5000 to buy into any WSOP event you'd like, be it two $1500 events and one $2000 event or something else...

Yeah, you should have seen Pacifics $200k guarantees they ran before, they rarely got more than $100k in buy-ins and they cost $125 to play in, and in the money was usually around $400, crazy times...

Update!~ Here's some info on some wsop event satellites :club:Full Tilt Poker: offers 10 weekly satellites to a $2000 package consisting of 3$500 WSOP buy-in chips and $500 in cash. There does NOT appear to be acontractual requirement for you to use the WSOP buy-in chips so you might beable to sell those chips to another player without running afoul of the "termsand conditions" contract of the satellite tournament (please confirm will FullTilt Poker). Also offers a weekly satellite to a $1500 package consisting of a$1000 buy-in to the Ladies event and $500 cash for women ONLY.Bodog: offers 20 weekly satellties to a $2500 package consisting of a $1500buy-in to ANY $1500 buy-in WSOP event PRIOR TO the main event, and $1000 cash. You are required to play a $1500 WSOP event and wear a "Bodog" logo while youare playing if you win a package, and you are required to sign a "terms andconditions" contract document before Bodog will wire your buy-in to Harrah'sEntertainment. You can win as many of these $2500 packages and play as many$1500 buy-in events, but you may not combine the packages or add additionalcash to enter $2000, $2500, $3000 or $5000 buy-in events.PokerStars: "SilverStar" VIP players and above can use special tournamentcredits, known as W$, to buy into 9 events with buy-ins ranging from $1000 to$2500. At this point, NONE of those 9 events have confirmed ESPN TV coverage,though the chance of having 1 of the 9 events (Event 2, $1500 No Limit on June27) picked up for TV coverage is fairly good. PokerStars will require you tosign a "terms and conditions" contract and wear a "PokerStars" logo during thetournament if you choose to buy into any of those 9 tournaments with W$(PokerStars will have monitors at the WSOP to ensure contractual compliance.) You can accumulate W$ by playing WSOP "Level 1" satellites, with buy-ins rangingfrom $2 to $80. You can also buy W$ at a slight discount from various online"poker currency traders".Absolute Poker: offers online satellites to the $1000 buy-in event on July 10and the Ladies event. Package consists of $1000 buy-in and $500 cash. You arerequired sign a "terms and conditions" contract document, which requires you towear an "Absolute Poker" logo while you play at that particular WSOP tournamentif you win the online satellite.
