So far we’ve told you that 888 Poker and Cake Poker are sending players to the World Poker Tour WPT Grand Prix de Paris this year. But there’s still another site running WPT Paris satellite qualifiers and it’s Party Poker, with prize packages up for grabs worth $15,000 a piece.
The Party Poker WPT Grand Prix de Paris satellite series runs from June 20 to August 21. It includes freerolls tournaments that each give out 25 seats in a $3 speed rebuy sub qualifier that in turn sends one player to the satellite qualifier for every $75 in the prize pool. Alternately, there’s an $8 sub qualifier that’s not a speed event, which awards 1 of every 10 players a satellite qualifier seat. Similarly, the WPT Grand Prix de Paris Satellite Qualifiers, taking place twice daily except Sundays when they’re held only once and as a Turbo event, also send 1 in 10 finishers to the final event of the series, the WPT Grand Prix de Paris Satellite, in which 1 of every 20 finishers will get a $15,000 WPT Paris prize package, at least one package awarded at each satellite. These satellites take place on Sundays and have a $750 direct buy-in.
Each $15,000 Party Poker WPT Paris prize package includes, in addition to the $10,800 ticket into the main event, hotel accommodations while you’re in Paris (valued at $2,200), and $2,000 cash to spend as you see fit. The 2011 World Poker Tour Grand Prix de Paris takes place at the Aviation Club de France from September 5th to September 10th.
