World Series of Poker Satellites Start Saturday on WSOP.com in Nevada and New Jersey
The warming of the weather means summer is fast approaching, and that means another huge World Series of Poker schedule is on the horizon. With an exciting new schedule and plenty of interesting events on tap, along with uncountable things to do elsewhere in the city, it's the perfect time to make your way to Las Vegas.
First, you'll need to scrounge up a buy-in, though. Luckily, WSOP.com has made that easy (and potentially very cheap) with a series of satellites designed to get you into the Rio and playing for a bracelet at a nice discount. The action begins on Saturday with the 2015 World Series of Poker Kickoff Weekend, featuring a slew of online satellite tournaments in both Nevada and New Jersey.
The Nevada side of things kicks off at 2 p.m. PT on Saturday, March 21 with a $10 rebuy tournament offering one guaranteed seat into the groundbreaking WSOP.com online bracelet event. Be ready to fire up more tables though, as two more satellites begin within the hour. One is a $5 turbo rebuy into the Main Event 25-Seat Scramble and the other a $200 reentry straight into the Main Event. Things continue with a couple of $5 and $10 rebuys to the $565 Colossus and a $1,000 WSOP tournament.
The Sunday selections include a $100 10-seat bonanza into the online event, another $200 reentry satellite to the Main Event with two seats guaranteed this time, and more Colossus and $1,000 satellites.
