Weekend Preview: WSOP Main Continues, WPTWOC Mix-Max, $1M SuperStorm ME
The weekend is upon us but there’s not time for resting on our laurels because there are some massive poker tournaments to be won online. Three of the biggest events, including how to win your way into them, are shown below. Which one of this exciting trio will you compete in this weekend?
$25 Million Guaranteed WSOP Main Event Continues at GGPoker
The $25 million guaranteed WSOP Main Event kicked off at GGPoker last weekend and continues this week too. $5,000 is this massive tournament’s buy-in and for that you receive a generous helping of 50,000-chips and get to play to a 30-minute clock where the blinds start at only 100/200/25a!
$5,000 is a little on the steep size, even if it does give you a shot at a $25 million guaranteed prize pool, which is why we suggest trying to win your way into WSOP #77: $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Main Event via one of the plethora of satellites running around the clock.
There are literally dozens of $100 satellites to the Main Event so you’ll probably always find one regardless of when you get to play some online poker. It’s possible to play in satellites with buy-ins as low as $5, meaning everyone has the opportunity to play for what will be an astonishing first-place prize and, of course, a gold WSOP bracelet.
