2009 WSOP Satellites From PokerStars

The biggest tournament in poker is back! We are of course talking about the 2009 World Series Of Poker.

PokerStars wants to send as many poker players as possible this year through their online WSOP satellites. In 2008, over 2,000 players qualified through their satellites, and 6 of the final 9 players were sponsored by PokerStars. This included the 2008 Main Event winner and current World Champion Peter Eastgate, and runner-up Ivan Demidov, both now members of Team PokerStars Pro.

The 2009 World Series of Poker qualifiers will be running daily from Monday, April 20, with Cash and Frequent Player Point (FPP) qualifiers available from as little as $2.20 or 40 FPP. Steps qualifiers are also available from $7.50. Win one of the qualifiers and you’ll win a Main Event Prize package worth $12,000, which includes your Main Event buy-in, hotel accommodations and $1,000 in cash for expenses. The World Championship begins July 3, 2009, at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
