PokerStars has announced a satellites program for the WCOOP events as the buy-ins are extremely high; the leading online poker room of the world is therefore giving the opportunity for many poker players to participate to the events without spending much money. The qualifiers start on August 21 and overall PokerStars is offering tickets of which value is over half a million dollars. The “Extreme Satellites”, as they called, will last eight days – until 29 August. The smallest buy-in is just $5.50 while the most expensive reaching up to $260. Both new and existing players can find these in the Satellites under the “Events” tab listed under WCOOP – All. The satellites prizes are solely tickets for the WCOOP events and are non- transferable to third parties.
