Pocket Guide to Online Satellites to the WSOP

Carbon Poker / Merge Network

Carbon is running a pretty limited slate of WSOP sattys. Right now they have one ME qualifier, a $460 buy in on May 16th at 12PM EST. The good news: there’s a pretty good chance the tournament will offer an overlay.

Absolute / Ultimate Bet

The Cereus Network is running a satellite schedule that looks pretty similar to the one offered by PokerStars, and is also awarding 12k packages.

Steps
Cereus runs a 10-tiered Steps tournament system, with buy ins starting at .10 and culminating in a ME satty. You can also use some Steps tickets to play in non-steps WSOP qualifiers.

Cash Qualifiers
The big satty at Cereus is the weekly $530 buy in that runs Sundays at 8:30 EST and guarantees one seat (overlay unlikely). Cereus is also running a ‘last-chance’ style satty on June 21st @ 17:30 ET with a $350 buy in and 50 seats guaranteed. Cash qualifiers for all tournaments run around the clock and start at as low as $10.

Bodog

Bodog is relying on a single cash qualifier run weekly to get players to the WSOP. Bodog is offering a ton of super-sattys to this tournament, accommodating just about every buy in level imaginable (including plenty of points-based sattys). The main cash qualifier is a 4:35pm Sunday tournament with a $250+20 buy in that guarantees 4 seats (overlay likely).

iPoker

The iPoker network (non-US) has a few packages they’re giving away – a 13k package that covers the main event and a 6k package that covers side events. The 6k package is running super sattys round the clock, but for the life of us we cna’t determine when the actual tournament that wards to the package is scheduled. The 13k package will be award in a $535 buy in tournament that runs Sundays at 20:00 GMT, and super-sattys from as low as a buck are running pretty much 24-7. The 13k package can apparently be used to either buy into the Main Event or the 10k PLO event.

Party Poker

Party (non-US) is also offers a ME package at 12k and a side event package that runs about 5.5k and includes entry into one $1500 event plus lodging, flight, etc that they’re calling the “Vegas Experience”. You can qualify for the VE via a weekly satty that runs Wednesdays 14:10 ET with a $300 buy in. Super sattys start at a buck. The Main Event package will be awarded Fridays at 18:10 ET and Sundays at 14:15 ET in a $600 + $40 satellite. Super sattys for that are running 24/7 and cover a wide range of buy in levels.

Everest Poker

You’d expect the final table sponsor of the WSOP to have a a satellite path to the WSOP, and Everest (non-US) does. The primary satellite mechanism for Everest is a Step-based satellite structure, with 6 tiers. The structure is somewhat similar to PokerStars Steps, but has some key differences. At the end of the Steps path is Step 6, a $1728 buy in tournament that awards one 13k package (plus pity cash for 2nd through 5th). Everest also diverts the Steps path (for those interested) at Step 5; players can either continue up the Steps ladder or compete for a WSOP side event package worth $3500.

Boss Network

Boss is offering a fairly limited set of options for WSOP qualifying: On May 31st 16:30 GMT they have a €300.00+€20.00 tournament that will award €10k packages.
