I want to alert everyone to a great
opportunity for all of you who will be in Nevada on June 28.
It’s a chance to win a seat into a $1,000 WSOP bracelet event for a mere $10 entry fee.

Yeah, just 10 bucks. How sweet is that?
The link is right here.
The excellent site Poker Update is
sponsoring a $10 satellite to WSOP Event #64.
It’s a new event this year. It’s
the “online event.” It starts at Noon on
July 2 online at WSOP.com. After a
couple of days of play online, the final table will be assembled live at the
Rio on July 4. So the final table will be just like all the other events. It’s the getting there that’s very different.
How cool would it be if the winner of
Poker Update’s $10 satellite made it to the final table? Or even cooler, if
that player took home the jewelry?
It could happen.
The online event should be one of the
more interesting bracelet events this year.
All those online specialists will be vying for the chance to prove that
they can convert their online game to live play when the bracelet is
online.
I’m wondering what that final table
will look like? Will there be any known live
pros? Will it be all players who only
(or mostly) play online? What happens
when those online specialists have to play live at the final table?
Will that table be 100% hoodies and
headphones and sunglasses? Will you be
able to see anyone’s face?
Is there a chance some old-timer
sneaks in?
The field for this event should be
huge, since no one will have to get off their couch to even enter. And a huge field means a huge prize pool, of
course. And you’ve got a chance to play for it for only $10.
So I want to make sure all of my
readers who are eligible will take advantage of this really special opportunity to satellite
into a WSOP bracelet event for just a $10 buy-in.
If you don’t usually play online, this
would be a great time to give it a try, wouldn’t it? If you do play online, you can show your
stuff for only a $10 investment.
I see this was cancelled with 0 entrants... I guess I wasn't the only one who couldn't register... I find it a little shady that they advertised this all over my facebook and blogs, yet they made it impossible to register for and ended up cancelling it... guess that is the way to do it. Promise a tournament with a Guaranteed seat to an event, then don't let a single person sign up for said tournament. Meanwhile this drove all kinds of traffic to their site I would imagine. Again.... Shady.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing this to my attention. This was the first I'd heard of this and I'm trying to find out what happened. I'll keep you posted.
DeleteVery sorry about this but I dunno how they would gain something by the bad publicity this will cause them.
It's no big deal... I am just fed up with WSOP.com the customer service is horrible. The one positive that the site had, the 2p2 support thread is being shut down tomorrow. At least with 2p2 other people could help answer your questions, because wsop customer service is beyond useless.
DeleteWell, not really familiar with WSOP cust service But I will say this, it wasn't really WSOP.com's fault. Apparently the PokerUpdate site had a minimum number of new member sign ups required to run the tournament, and they fell short. It should have been made more clear, but apparently was not.
