PokerStars brought poker fans a new poker tour this year called the Australia and New Zealand Poker Tour (ANZPT). The new tour kicked off in February in Adelaide and since then has gone to Sydney and Melbourne with another stop scheduled for July in Queenstown. PokerStars has now released information on the fifth and final leg of the ANZPT which will take place in Queensland.
The end of the ANZPT will take place in Queensland in early August beginning on the 5th and continuing until the 9th. The Queensland tournament will have a unique format as it will take place at two different venues, the Conrad Jupiters and Conrad Treasury.
The tournament will be capped at 280 players as well as 20 alternates. At each venue two day one flights will take place and the schedule, breaks and announcements will be synchronized. On day three all the players will come together from both venues. Players from the Conrad Treasury in Brisbane will be transferred to Conrad Jupiters on the Gold Coast.
The Queensland tournament will have a buy-in of $2,500 and no fee will be charged. So every dollar of the buy-in will go toward the prize pool so the players competing will be able to earn the most they can.
PokerStar will now begin running satellites so online players can compete to win packages to the Queensland tournament. Players should check at PokerStars tournament lobby for upcoming details on the satellites offered at the online poker room.

We all know that online poker rooms are steadily offering seats to the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event as well as other bracelet events. Several poker sites have seats to give out that will hopefully see players do very well and end up in the money. But what you may not know is that one online poker room is offering fifty seats to the Main Event.
UltimateBet.com is the online poker room offering the amazing fifty seat offer. UltimateBet will be holding a World Series of Poker 50 Package Satellite on June 21st where fifty lucky online players will earn a seat to the 2009 WSOP Main Event.
The 50 packages are worth $12,000 which equals $10,000 for the seat and $2,000 in spending money which can be used to pay for hotel accommodations or whatever the winner would like. The top fifty finishers of the WSOP 50 package Satellite will be guaranteed a seat to the WSOP Main Event. This means that no matter where you place, as long as it is in 1st through 50th you will be going to the 2009 WSOP Main Event.
UltimateBet is offering these seats to their players as a way of celebrating two large milestones. The first is the 10th anniversary of the UltimateBet online poker room and the second is the twentieth anniversary of Phil Hellmuths, spokesman for UltimateBet, win at the WSOP, when he became the youngest player ever to win the Main Event. Of course that was until Peter Eastgate won the event last year.
Another great aspect of the satellite package is that if one of the fifty players who are awarded a seat actually wins the tournament they will earn a cool $10 million bonus from UltimateBet. Let’s hope one of the qualifiers can win the event!

As the 2009 World Series of Poker draws near, more and more online poker rooms will begin to host online satellites for players to qualify for various WSOP events. PokerStarsrecently began offering satellites for their players to gain entry into the Main Event. Players have three ways to qualify: FPP Qualifiers, Steps Qualifiers and Cash Qualifiers.

The Steps Qualifiers will give players the opportunity to work their way through a tiered tournament system which has six levels. Each tournament will award a ticket to the next step to the top players of the tournament. A few of the runners up will earn a ticket to repeat the step they were on or they will move down a step. Either way, the players will still be in contention to move up a step if they play well.
Players participating in the Cash Qualifiers will find they can enter two open cash qualifiers each week. A $650 qualifier will take place on Sundays at 6pm EST while a larger buy-in qualifier, $1050, will take place on Fridays at 8:30PM EST. If players do not want to pay the large buy-ins they can participate in super-satellites which will lead to the large buy-in qualifiers.
Each type of qualifier can be found on the PokerStars.com website by clicking on the events tab and then WSOP. Players will then be able to choose which type of qualifier they would like to participate in.

2009 WSOP Qualifiers Continue At UltimateBet

As summer quickly approaches, so does the start 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP). Internet poker rooms are rushing to install poker satellites and Qualifiers with massive prize packages to the world’s most prestigious live poker event, but none quite like that of UltimateBet.
UltimateBet.com has been running WSOP Qualifiers for two weeks already, and online poker players will be more than pleased to know that for as little as $0.10, they could win their way into a seat at the Las Vegas Rio All-suite Hotel & Casino to take part in the 2009 WSOP Main Event.
Winning your way through a series of these Steps Qualifiers at UltimateBet could put you in the shoes of Peter Eastgate, the young Dane who walked away with $9.1 million as the 2008 WSOP Main Event champion, taking over Phil Hellmuth’s previous record as the youngest poker player to emerge the ultimate victor.
UltimateBet, along with sister-site Absolute Poker, which make up the CEREUS Poker Network, will be running WSOP Steps Qualifiers up until the 2009 WSOP, awarding prize packages that cover the $10,000 WSOP Main Event buy-in, as well as travel and accommodation expenses and spending cash.
The WSOP Steps Satellites consist of a series of 10 Sit’N'Go Tournaments. Players must win each Step of their Sit’N'Go challenges to move on to the next round and work their way into a seat at the 2009 WSOP. But for an investment of $0.10, who wouldn’t want to take a shot at such an opportunity?
It is possible to buy into any stage of the Steps Satellites at UltimateBet, rather than working your way through all 10 Sit’N'Go competitions. However, there are extra incentives to whittle your way through all 10 steps.
The first 10 players to win a seat through UltimateBet’s WSOP Steps Satellites will receive an additional $7,500 prize package to the UltimateBet Aruba Poker Classic.
Also, any player who wins a seat in the 2009 WSOP Main Event by taking down a 10-Step series, then goes on to win the WSOP championship title, will win a $10 million pro poker contract from UltimateBet. With nearly $10 million awarded for winning the WSOP, this could potentially double the champion’s profit margin to $20 million.
“Step tournaments will see UB qualifying record numbers of online players for this year’s WSOP,” says UltimateBet’s tournament designer and professional poker player Annie Duke. “With our $10 million player contract on the table, we’re excited about the prospect of discovering poker’s next big thing.”
Phenomenal Win for “StefanProdan” At PokerStars Sunday Million

Once again, the PokerStars flagship event - the Sunday Million - attracted an enormous field of online poker players. And once again, the already sensational $1.5 million guaranteed was trumped, this time worth $1,732,800.
Unlike most of PokerStars Sunday Million tournaments, this time around, the winner is taking home an astounding 1st place prize like he’s never witnessed before. “StefanProdan” earned more than $200k for the victory, with his largest recorded tournament cash up to this point being a 76th place finish in the Full Tilt Poker Sunday Brawl, worth $772.52.
The action got underway with 8,664 players converging on the tables. The top 1,260 players would see a piece of the lucrative prize pool. As the players dwindled, the final table was eventually formed.
One by one, the virtual rails became packed. The 3rd place exit of “Bob Vitis” resulted in heads-up play between StefanProdan and young American Joel “jbrown04″ Brown.
These two players have a lot in common, neither having earned a significant prize in online poker tournaments. Brown’s largest cash was for $4,470 in January of 2009, being the only 4-digit cash recorded on his roster. No matter what happened, both would walk away extremely happy men.
As fate would have it, it was StefanProdan that would take the 1st place victory and the impressive payday of $209,842. Brown was easily consoled with a $141,223 cash for the 2nd place finish.
