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 FPP Qualifiers will offer the least amount of options to get a WSOP Main Event seat. Three seats a week will be given to players during the FPP WSOP Qualifier Saturdays which will begin at 4pm EST. daily super satellites will also be available on the site.
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. With so many options to choose from, it should not be hard for players to find the right kind of satellite qualifier for them.
