2010 WSOP Online Satellites

Last year, the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event generated over $61 million and champion Joe Cada took home $8,547,042 of that total.  This year, the WSOP is expected be bigger than ever with even more money in the prize pool, which means the top prizes will be bigger too!

If you’d like to play for this massive amount of cash, you can always pay the $10,000 buy-in plus hotel and traveling expenses……or you could play in one of the cheap 2010 WSOP online satellites that are already running at many poker sites.

Satellite poker tournaments are one of the best ways to gain entry into a big tourney since they allow you to get in for a much cheaper price!  By playing in a 2010 WSOP online satellite, you can win a prize package that will not only cover the $10k buy-in, but also hotel and travel expenses.  Most of these prize packages are worth anywhere from $12,000 - $15,000 so money will not be an issue.

And the great thing is that you have so many different options when deciding how to win your prize package.  If your bankroll is small, you can buy into a WSOP satellite for just $1 and work your way up to a prize package.  But if your bankroll is a little higher, you can enter the more expensive satellites, which will put you even closer to winning.  Buy-ins vary for the upper level satellites, but you could have a great shot at the Main Event through $10, $20, and $40 tournaments.

Aside from the different options in regards to buy-ins, you also have a lot of different choices as far as poker rooms go.  Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, and Cake Poker offer some of the best deals on WSOP satellites, and give you a good shot at winning a WSOP Main Event seat.

PokerStars is an especially good place to play 2010 WSOP satellites because they offer hundreds of seats to the Main Event, which means there will be more chances for you to win a 2010 WSOP prize package.  On top of the hundreds of seats that PokerStars gives out, there have been many WSOP success stories through PokerStars.  Chris Moneymaker is the best example since he became world-famous after winning the 2003 WSOP Main Event and $2.5 million through a $40 PokerStars satellite.

Full Tilt Poker is another great place to play WSOP satellite tournaments because they also offer hundreds of Main Event seats.  Full Tilt has a wide range of satellites too meaning everyone from new poker players to those with huge bankrolls will have a shot at getting to the WSOP.

Besides offering lots of seats to the Main Event, both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker also run satellites for the side WSOP tournaments.  Many people actually prefer to compete for seats in the side events because there are less players, which means a better chance at winning a prize package.  But no matter what way you choose on your path to Las Vegas for the 2010 WSOP, just make sure that you sign up somewhere and start playing soon to increase your chances of winning!
