Satellite Tournaments?

batman253 asked:


How do the Satellite Tournaments work? I see all the time on the internet about $215 buy-in to WSOP or WPT Satellite Tournament. If you win this event where does it take you-into a next Satellite? How many satellites do you have to play to earn a WSOP or WPT seat?

Veleno45- Considering you had won a seat at the WSOP-it would be highly appreciated if you could respond (did not know how to contact you directly).

   It depends on the buy-in. If you buy in cheap, it is most likely a satellite tournament that is giving away a seat to another satellite.

   If the buy-in is higher the winner of the tournament can go to the big one. For example, I think they have single table satellite tournaments in Las Vegas that can get you into the WSOP main event. Those buy ins are a little more than $1000.

   Often times when there is an online satellite for $1-$50 it is a satellite tournament to get seats in another satellite for the big prize.
