Pokerstars 2010 WSOP satellites now running

[Fonzi]

The PokerStars 2010 World Series satellites are now underway and there are more reasons than ever for you to win your package on the world's biggest online poker site.

Not only can you win your entire trip to the World Series Main Event (and the chance to win millions of dollars), but Pokerstars is going to throw in a huge incentive just to make the money in the Main Event: a main event prize package to the PCA or NAPT. Talk about value, huh?

If the satellites aren't up already, keep a very close eye on the EVENTS-> WSOP tab in the Pokerstars tournament lobby. They will be up today. You'll find a full range of cash satellites, FPP satellites and Steps, where you can ladder your way to glory.

Here's what you'll you'll be playing for:

2010 Pokerstars WORLD SERIES PRIZE PACKAGE

$10,000 World Series buy-in
Eight nights of hotel accommodations (July 4-12) at Palms Hotel and Casino
$1,000 cash to go toward travel expenses


In all, that's a $12,000 package for the world's biggest poker event.

As always, the people who choose to fly the Pokerstars flag while they play are also going to party in style. If you're a qualifier and wear the Pokerstars logo while you play, here's the cool stuff to which you'll be entitled:

A Pokerstars player bag full of all kinds of neat gear
Two tickets to the Pokerstars World Series party (last year Nelly brought down the house at Rain in what is still talked about as one of the hottest events in town)
50,000 VPPs (Pokerstars VIP Player Points)
Free suite upgrades for Supernova and Supernova Elites


If that doesn't sound like enough, Pokerstars is throwing in some serious incentives to the people who go deep.

If you're qualifier with a Pokerstars logo on your chest and make it into the money, Pokerstars will give you a free package to the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure or any other North American Poker Tour Main Event.
If you are a qualifier with a Pokerstars logo on your chest and manage to win the Main Event, Pokerstars will give you $1 million. Simple as that

I think this is the best package to win simply due to the 8 nights at the palms. Fulltilt puts it on the winner to come up with some place to stay and I can imagine it being tough to get a room during the main event. The extra 10 million tilt offers if you magically or the 1 million stars will give is bs. They should give it towards a more reasonable reached goal like cashing in it. I would love to win a package.

I tried a $500 Bodog wsop satellite sunday that had 77 players with the top 4 winning 12k. I got out quickly in the first level with KK vs AA allin preflop. I raised 3x to 90 and the AA player made it 1k!! I didn't put them on AA and shoved allin for 3k to get a courtesy call from QQ, JJ, AK but ran into AA.

Full Tilt does have rooms too. When you win your $12K Main Event prize package at Full Tilt Poker, you’ll have the option of getting free accommodation at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas –

If you qualify for the 2010 Main Event at Full Tilt Poker and go on to win, we'll give you $10,000,000 on top of your first-place prize money with $10 Million Main Event Mania.

In addition to winning the biggest bonus in poker, if you finish in the money at this year's Main Event, we'll give you a free seat at the 2011 Main Event.
