World Poker Tour Satellite

World Poker Tour Satellite Tournament

Play in a World Poker Tour satellite tournament.  The World Poker Tour is one of the major poker tournaments of the year and the World Poker Tour Championship takes place in April, 2006, at the luxurious Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada (see World Poker Tour Schedule).  With an estimated prize pool of over $12 Million, the best poker players around the world will be arriving in Las Vegas to show their stuff.

You can play in the World Poker Tour Championship simply by showing up at Bellagio and depositing the buy-in of $25,500 (includes entry fee).  Of course, many of us are wondering, do we have the right stuff to win a major poker tournament like the World Poker Tour championship?

The really interesting thing about poker is that it involves an eclectic combination of skills ranging from math to psychology.  "On any given Sunday" any player has the potential to peak and beat players who might otherwise be considered their superiors.  Chris Moneymaker, a novice but skilled poker player, parlayed a $40 online poker fee into a $2.5 million prize in the World Series of Poker.

You can find out if you have the right stuff without spending over $25,000.  You can enter one of the member poker tournaments (see World Poker Tour Schedule) or you can enter a World Poker Tour satellite tournament.

World Poker Tour satellite tournaments are the best way to find out if you are ready for the "big show."  The buy-ins are a fraction of what it costs to enter the WPT championship.  You pay a smaller buy-in to the WPT satellite tournament, win, and you get your buy-in paid to the World Poker Tour Championship.

Where do you go for World Poker Tour satellite tournaments?  Bellagio will hold satellite tournaments at their casino in the days prior to the WPT championship.

You can also enter World Poker Tour Satellite tournaments online which are offered throughout the year at poker rooms such as Party Poker.  Matt Matros, a graduate student in fiction writing at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, finished third in the 2004 World Poker Tour Championship, winning $706,903, after entering a $100 satellite at Party Poker.  (Party Poker is a member of the WPT and hosts one of the member poker tournaments - the Party Poker Million.)
