Stars WSOP sat info
 

some prelim info, sats begin Saturday.

A couple of things that jumped out:
[ QUOTE ]
On Sunday, July 16 at 4:30pm ET our Sunday Million is stepping aside to give you 150 chances to go to the World Series of Poker. That is minimum $1,800,000 guarantee! Satellites for this $370 buy-in, No Limit Hold'em event, start at only $5.50.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Hotel accommodations - Minimum 9 nights, July 27 - Aug. 4 [...] Hotel accommodations will be extended free of charge for any players still in the tournament after August 4, 2006.

*anyone know how Party's hotel setup works?

- Theres monthly TLB freerolls, a daily 150+10 DS, daily 30+3 rebuy, and weekly 615+35 MTT.

Some interesting VIP freerolls. (look quite good to me)

Also, there are some minor FT incentive you can check out at the link. Full tilt's are much higher.

EDIT: Something which struck me from the FAQ:

Q. How do you distribute leftover prize money in the WSOP final qualifying satellites?

A. Rather than give away a single lump sum of cash, we're returning as many buy-ins as we can.

Only one? That can't be right...

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

July 16???? Why wait so long to run this? Don't you think that they will lose a lot of people that qualify on other sites?

people will still join just to cash out the package if they have one already

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

ugh I wish I could play these and take the 12k W$ (you can't right?)

look to be very juicy, especially that july 16 one

i'm gonna try and win the tlb ones and hope they let me go to PCA instead [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

I see they got rid of the "broke Moneymaker" syndrom. (regarding moneymaker considering throwing the tournament in order to get the $8000 remainder.

New ruling. All remainder money is spread amongst top non-qualifers in the amount of the buyin. So in the Moneymaker example the top 5 players would still get WSOP buyins, but now instead of #6 getting $8000, 6th through 18th would get $650 with 19th getting $200.

You can satellite into the $370 buy-in. They'll run these satellites like crazy, I think. Satellite buy-ins start at $5.50.

Just think of it... you buy into a satellite for $5.50, win a seat in the $370 tourney, and then make a cool $1,000,000 at the WSOP. That's a 181,817.2% return. Sign me up.

They are the same incentives as Full Tilt for FT. The difference is only for 1st place award - FTP giving $10M for 10 years contract and Stars is giving $1M probably for much shorter contract.

BR reasons. I play for my "job" while I'm in school, and need to be playing for real money. I have a job during the summer, so I can dedicate my poker BR to qualifying.

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

WAIT...only One $160 DS direct qualifier per day...why not one every few hours?

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

The 150 seat guarantee on Stars is the same day as the 100 seat guarantee on FTP. These will probably be the two easiest satellites to qualify in online, so it kinda sucks that you can only play one.

You can't get refunded for a seat on one site if you win one on another.

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

that's a silly reason not to play both
oh no I have a minute chance of winning $20,000 but only win $10,000, alas.

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

if u don't have a seat by then, its unlikely you will get one.

Re: Stars WSOP sat info
 

Anybody know if you win 1 of the VIP sats whether you are eligible to continue playing in others to get another seat (cash)? Or is it like the cash sats-the more you can win, more power to ya?
