If you’re like us, you’re counting down the days before Vegas’ biggest game. The WSOP Main Event kicks off on July 5, and PokerStars wants to send you along for the ride.
On June 20, at 16:30 ET, the site will host a WSOP Mega Satellite, which will take the place of their Sunday Millions event for one week. On the line will be an amazing 200 total WSOP Packages, guaranteed! These prizes are worth an astonishing $12,000 apiece.
Here’s how the money breaks down: $10,000 for the WSOP buy-in, $1,000 for travel and expenses, eight nights at the Palms (worth $1,000), and a shuttle bus to and from the Rio. Players will also be eligible for a huge amount of additional prizes, just for signing a PokerStars World Series terms and conditions document and agreeing to wear the site’s merchandise exclusively throughout their run. Among these incentives (and there are many) are 50,000 VIP Points, and a slice of a $1,000,000 Main Event Championship Bonus.
How can you get in on this action? It’s simple, and not as expensive as you might think. Players can buy directly into the WSOP Mega Satellite for $370, or qualify through any of their smaller satellites to the Satellite. The later option features buy-ins as low as $1.10 or 100 FPP!
To locate the various related tournaments, you’ll need to have the latest version the PokerStars software, which can be found here. Once it’s installed on your computer, check out their “Events” tab.
