Do we know of any sites that offer satellites to the undercards of the WSOP? I am not looking for the main event, or WSOP circuits. I am looking for other games besides NLHE and lower buy-ins.

If I remember correctly, pokerstars did last year but they didn't start them until quite late in the 'season'. Don't know of any others.

pokerstars did not have satellites to any other events but the ME. However, they let you buy in to the smaller events through them.

If you win multiple ME seats, you can cash in the extra seats for WS$, which you can then use to buy in to any WSOP event.
If I recall correctly, UB offered satellites into preliminary events last year, but not until later in the year.

You have to win multiple ME seats to do this right? I think if you just win one seat on PokerStars you have to use it in the ME. Correct?

Yup, you have to play the first seat that you win.

How do the staellites work at the actual event? From what I read last year, the satellites were constantly running and winners were given $500 "chips" that were used to buy-in to any of the tournaments. How many chips they won depended on the buy-in of the satellite.
Does anyone know if I am correct on this?

Full Tilt does that, they give you a choice of five 10k events (4 WPT and 1 WSOP Circuit) if you win one of two weekly tourneys.

Which has nothing to do with what I said.

Actually, they do allow you to play the ME.
All you have to do is win that tourney 5 times.

Hi everybody.
At a site called bet365 they have a thing where you can win entry to EVERY single wsop event...
Worth about 165 thousand bucks.
http://www.bet365poker.com/poker/en-us/pro...=WSOPMULTIEVENT
I am in no way affiliated with them, in fact I canīt even play there (Iīm on a mac), but thought maybe someone would be interested.
They also have satellites to a few other events than ME:
