Satellites offer you the chance to play big money buy-ins without having to cough up the full buy-in yourself. These events are perfect for players of every staking range. Whether you are trying to satellite into your nightly $50, or live $10,000 buy-in, you’ll find all the thrills and spills of a normal tournament and a pay-off that could give you a massive return on investment.
Live satellites
Check out the exciting opportunities to get into live events through PKR. Imagine playing the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas. Maybe you're trying to qualify for an exotic location on The Asian Poker Tour. Maybe you are even trying to win your way into our very own PKR Live events (held every six months in the UK).
Whatever your dream for live poker success, you can be sure to find a satellite on PKR to get you on the road to playing face-to-face for high stakes.
Direct satellites
Direct satellites do exactly what they say on the tin. Win one of these tournaments and you will win your seat direct to the advertised event. Many live event satellites also come with a package portion towards expenses - like flights and accommodation. Make sure to read the tournament description for all the details for that event and prize.
Stage satellites
Stage satellites offer a route to the highest stake events for the smallest risk. Most of these satellites come in three stages. Join the race for a seat at any point along the chain and at a stake to suit your bankroll! Stage satellites for events like the $500 buy-in 'High Roller (six-seater)' and the $250 buy-in 'Masters $100,000 GTD' give you the chance to play with the big boys for a fraction of the cost.
Lottery and One-Hand satellites
These tournament types involve a lot of luck and no skill. These fast-paced qualifiers are perfect when time is short and so is your bankroll.
Look out for lottery tournaments in the multi-table tournament lobby in the hour before your big nightly event starts. These heads-up, multi-table tournaments are pure luck, but a lot of fun. Every player is all-in every hand, so you can either register, switch off and ignore the game, or watch it all and agonise over things outside of your control.
One-hand satellites are played in the Sit & Go lobby. These events involve a full six or ten-seat table of players. Every player is all-in every hand until one winner is left standing.
