Poker Stars has introduced yet another way for online poker players to qualify for the 2008 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas. Now you can not only qualify via cash satellite tournaments or via the tournament leader board and Frequent Player Points satellite tournaments, but players may also win their way to the Bahamas via the Steps option at PokerStars.
The Step Up options allows players of all bankrolls to qualify for the $12,000 Super Satellite that can send you directly to the PCA 2008. Step Up challenges begin at $7.50 or 500 FPP’s. Players then can “Step Up” to the next satellite tournament or if they finish in the top 3 may try again at the current step level. This is made more clear by the chart below provided by PokerStars. PokerStars has once again made playing satellite tournaments easy and more accessible then any other online poker room! Good luck.

Full Tilt Poker has announced its FTOPS VI schedule and it is gearing up to be one of the best FTOPS tournament series of all time. Each event will of course be hosted by a Full Tilt Pro and the feature main event of FTOPS VI will guarantee $2 million to the prize pool.
The tournament series is scheduled to begin on November 7th, 2007 and culminate on November 18th with the $500 buy in Main Event. As usual, the FTOPS VI schedule includes more then just No Limit Hold’em events. Pot limit hold’em, limit hold’em and HORSE will be some of the events on the schedule.
Players in the FTOPS VI series will not only be competing for cash prizes. Players who finish in the money or better will receive exclusive Full Tilt Poker prizes as follows:
The FullTilt Satellite Challenge is also running for this series. The satellite challenge awards players who win multiple satellite tournaments to the FTOPS VI events. For every additional satellite entry you win into that event, Full Tilt Poker credits your player account with cash equal to the tournament entry. For example, if you win five satellites into the $500+$35 FTOPS VI Main Event, you’ll receive your tournament entry and $2,140 cash in your account.
If you win more event entries than anyone else, then you will receive the equivalent of two more buy-ins. If you finish in second place in any of the FTOPS VI Satellite Challenges, Full Tilt will credit your account with the equivalent of one more buy-in.
As you can see if you are an avid tournament player, the Full Tilt Satellite Challenge is for you.
