2008 WSOP Online Satellites and Qualifiers
Each and every year thousands of players play in the WSOP Main Event, yet many of them never pay the $10,000 entry fee. Magic? Cheating? Their cousin works as the tournament director?
The correct answer is that many online poker sites such as PokerRoom.com run satellites and qualifiers that allow players to win their seat in the Main Event at a fraction of the normal cost. Some satellites cost less than $10 (or even are complete freerolls), giving players of all bankrolls a shot at fulfilling their poker dreams and playing in the Main Event.
And not only can you satellite into the Main Event cheaply, but you’ve got a decent shot at doing well, as 2003 Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker was an amateur player when he won, turning a $40 satellite entry at an online site into a 1st place prize worth $2.5 million (plus untold additional endorsement and sponsorship money).
Sites such as PokerRoom take the concept of winning your seat online even further, as not only can you win your tournament entry to the 2008 WSOP online at their site, but you’ll be part of Team PokerRoom.com, with all of your lodging, airfare, and entry fees taken care of, as well as other perks such as dinners and outings while in Las Vegas for the tournament.
So if you’re looking to play your way into the 2008 Main Event online, keep your eyes peeled, as most sites will start running their WSOP satellites and qualifiers in the next few months. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the next story of a lucky Internet player that turned $40 into millions and millions!
