WSOP.com NV Offering Bracelet Satellites And A Big Deal On Sunday
The schedule for the 2017 World Series of Poker (WSOP) has been revealed.
WSOP.com in Nevada is now offering online poker players the chance to strategize in advance and secure their spot in the action.
The first day of online satellites on the online poker site was marked on Sunday, Feb. 5. These satellites are the main feature of the site’s promotions for February.
WSOP.com running three weekly satellites
WSOP Weekend Experience satellites
The online satellites primarily aim to award seats for the Colossus event. This tournament requires a buy-in of $550 and offers a bracelet event. The previous year, the event attracted 21,613 participants and generated a prize pool exceeding $10.8 million.
Every Sunday, a $30 buy-in satellite with rebuys and add-ons takes place at 4:45 p.m. PT for a WSOP Weekend Experience package. This package includes a Colossus seat, an entry into the $333 buy-in online bracelet event, a food voucher, and a swag bag.
The Colossus event will commence on Friday, June 2, and will have two starting flights daily at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for three consecutive days. Additionally, an online event is scheduled for June 3 at 3:30 p.m.
Colossus satellites
Every Sunday at 5:45 p.m. PT, a satellite with rebuys and add-ons is held. It has a $10 buy-in and offers a chance to win a $565 Colussus seat.
$1,000 bracelet event satellites
Every Sunday at 6:45 p.m. PT, there is a satellite that arguably offers the best value for your money.
The tournament requires a $10 entry fee and includes options for rebuys and add-ons. The champion is rewarded with a place in any $1,000 entry fee bracelet event. This year’s WSOP schedule offers ten different $1,000 bracelet events to pick from.
Terms and conditions for the WSOP NV satellites
Before playing, players should be aware of a few rules and terms for the satellites.
As anticipated, the seats are non-refundable and non-transferable. Nonetheless, the winners of the $1,000 event have the choice to accept their prize as WSOP.com tournament tickets rather than a bracelet event buy-in. Upon winning, players are granted the discretion to choose how they would like to receive their prize.
The site will directly register the winners of the Colossus seats into the event. Before the tournament, players will select one of the six flights they wish to participate in.
Sunday also offers Big Deal
If you’re using your Sundays to play WSOP qualifiers on the site, be sure to keep an eye out for the monthly Big Deal event – another tournament worth watching.
The event named The Big Deal takes place on the last Sunday of each month at 4 p.m. Pacific Time. It requires a buy-in of $500 and guarantees a prize pool of $30,000.
If the entry fee is a bit too high for your budget, there are various preliminary events you can enter for as low as $5.
The satellites, priced at $5, operate daily at 6 p.m. A weekly event costing $50 with five seats guaranteed takes place every Sunday and the last Saturday of the month at 5:45 p.m.
On Jan. 31, this new tournament was introduced. The upcoming Big Deal event is set for Feb. 26.
