On July 16, PokerStars.com will hold a tournament that will send at least 150 players to the World Series of Poker's main event. The top 150 players will win a $12,000 WSOP prize package and satellites are now running at the site that start for as little as $3.
The buy-in for this event is $370. Players can register and play in satellites that can be found under the software's tourney tab under satellite button, of course. Players can play $3, $7.50, and $16 satellites to get into the July 16 tourney. All these satellites are rebuy tourneys.
Players can also get into the $370 tourney using their frequent player points (FPP). The July 16 event has a guaranteed prize pool of $1.8 million.
PokerStars.com has been running satellites to the WSOP main event for several months now and has recently added an incentive to qualify to the WSOP through PokerStars.com.
If the winner of the WSOP main event qualified through PokerStars.com, they'll receive an extra $1 million from the online site. If they finish second or third, they'll receive an extra $250,000 from PokerStars.com, and if they make the final table, they'll receive an extra $100,000.
