For those who are not interested in playing numerous small satellites, Poker Stars, Full Tilt, and Bodog are running bigger-buy-in weekly satellites that put players directly into the World Series of Poker main event.

Poker Stars is running a weekly $650 buy-in that guarantees at least one $12,000 WSOP package. It includes the $10,000 main event buy-in, $1,000 in spending money, and $1,000 for hotel accommodations or extra money for expenses.

Players can satellite into this tournament through $3 rebuy, $11 rebuy, $16 double shoot-out, $27 rebuy, $27 turbo/rebuy, or $80 multi-table tournaments.

Full Tilt features a $1,000 buy-in weekly qualifier every Thursday at 9 p.m. that guarantees at least five WSOP packages. The Tuesday weekly qualifier is a $322 buy-in at 9 p.m., guaranteeing at least two packages. Full Tilt's Tuesday and Thursday qualifiers can be satellited into for as little as $4.40.

The WSOP package at Full Tilt includes the $10,000 main event buy-in, as well as $2,000 for expenses. In addition, Full Tilt will also pay an extra $10 million to any player who qualifies through its site and wins the main event.

Bodog's direct satellite tournaments run every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The buy-in is $270 and guarantees at least one $12,000 package per tournament.

Players can satellite into these tournaments through a $29 tournament that takes place twice daily, a $16 rebuy on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, or a once-daily $7.50 rebuy on Monday through Thursday. The $29 tournament seats can be won through a daily $1.50 or $5.50 freezeout or a $1 rebuy tournament.
