Diesen Sonntag gibs nochmal massig Möglichkeiten sich für das Main Event zu qualifizieren:
Sunday: 250 WSOP Main Event Seats up for Grabs
Both PokerStars and Full Tilt Replace Major Sunday Events With Massive World Series Main Event Qualifiers
If you haven’t yet secured your seat in the 2007 World Series of Poker main event, this Sunday is likely to be your biggest chance. PokerStars and Full Tilt are offering a combined 250 guaranteed seats to the main event from just two tournaments, along with the plethora of other main event satellites that are continuously running.
Both sites are forgoing their normally scheduled major Sunday tournaments in favor of the huge qualifiers. The PokerStars Sunday Million is being replaced this week by a tournament guaranteeing 150 seats in the WSOP main event while the Full Tilt $400,000-guaranteed tournament will be replaced by a 100-seat-guaranteed tournament.
The sites undoubtedly chose to replace the Sunday majors, rather than run both them and the massive qualifiers at once, because the qualifiers alone are guaranteeing more in prizes than the sites’ major events guarantee. In PokerStars’ case, the site is guaranteeing $1.8 million in prizes (150 main event prize packages worth $12,000 apiece: $10,000 for the buy-in and $2,000 for travel and spending money) compared to the Sunday Million’s $1 million-guaranteed prize pool.
Full Tilt is taking an even bigger leap, proportionately, by guaranteeing $1.2 million worth of prize packages (its packages are also $12,000 apiece) compared to its regularly scheduled $400,000 guarantee. Full Tilt also adds extra incentives for its main event seat winners. Full Tilt will give any player who qualifies through the site $10 million if the player wins the main event, $100,000 for finishing in second or third place, and $50,000 for making the final table (only if the player wears a Full Tilt logo when doing it, of course).
Online poker players have been publicly disappointed, both in the forums and directly to Card Player, that the qualifiers are replacing the major Sunday events rather than running concurrently. Many players play multiple tournaments at once, anyway, and would rather have the option to play in both at the same time, they say. They also do not believe that the tournaments would take away from one another because they are so fundamentally different from each other (one being a normal tournament and the other being a qualifier).
The 150-seat-guaranteed tournament on PokerStars will be held on Sunday, June 17 at 4:30 p.m. ET (the same time as the Sunday Million is usually held) and will have a $370 buy-in. Satellites for the event are currently being held for as low as $2.20 (for a sixhanded triple-shootout tournament) or 500 Frequent Player Points (for a rebuy tournament available exclusively to PokerStars members with SilverStar VIP status or higher).
The 100-seat-guaranteed tournament on Full Tilt is at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 17 (the same time that its $400,000-guaranteed tournament normally runs). The tournament has a $535 buy-in and players can satellite into the event for as little as $5.50 (for a turbo, rebuy sit-and-go tournament) or 2,500 Full Tilt Points (for a normal freezeout tournament).
The sites’ regularly scheduled tournaments will return the following week, on June 24. Full Tilt will be offering its upped guarantee, $500,000, for the first time that Sunday.
