World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event Week is running on Full Tilt Pokeruntil Sunday, June 20th. If you still need a seat into poker’s most prestigious tournament, Full Tilt is offering up more than 200 WSOP seats all this week for its members. At least five WSOP Main Event prize packages will be up for grabs every single day.
The finale of WSOP Main Event Week on Full Tilt Poker is the $640 buy-in 150-Seat Guarantee on Sunday, June 20th at 18:00 ET. As its name implies, 150 prize packages to the Las Vegas tournament will be up for grabs, or the equivalent of $1.8 million. Each $12,000 prize package includes the Main Event’s $10,000 buy-in plus $2,000 in spending money.
Prize package winners will also wine and dine with Full Tilt pros and receive access to the site’s hospitality suite at the Rio. In addition, they’ll receive the option of free accommodations at the off-Strip hotel. Satellites to the 150-Seat Guarantee are running all week.
On Saturday, look for a $216 Direct Qualifier for WSOP Main Event seats. The more affordable $216 buy-in tournament awards 10 prize packages and kicks off at 18:00 ET. On Thursday, a $1,060 Direct Qualifier also offers up 10 WSOP Main Event prize packages to its lucky winners and begins at 21:00 ET.
Direct Qualifiers are boasting double guarantees all week. In addition, there are twice as many Daily Shootouts being held, offering even more chances for Full Tilt Poker members to become the next Joe jcada99 Cada (pictured).
Last year, Cada, a PokerStarssponsored pro, banked $8.5 million after defeating Maryland logger Darvin Moon in the Main Event. Full Tilt Poker is upping the ante by coughing up $10 million if you qualify through the site and then go on to win the Main Event. This is in addition to your first place prize, making the payday an especially lucrative one if a Full Tilt satellite winner goes on to win the Main Event bracelet.
As another reason to play on Full Tilt, if you qualify through the site for the Main Event and go on to cash, you’ll take home a seat to next year’s $10,000 buy-in event. Other bonuses are also available.
Text found on Full Tilt Poker’s website sums it all up: “So once you make the money in this year’s event, you’ll punch your ticket for the 2011 WSOP as well. With the richest bonus in poker and a free seat at next year’s Series, no other site offers you this much value for your Main Event seat.” Players have to be at least 21 years of age to enter any tournament at the 2010 WSOP.
