 A satellite tournament is a tournament where the prize, instead of being cash, is an entry into a larger tournament with a higher buy-in. Satellites are a great way of getting into big money tournaments.  Satellites on PKR Win your way in to the biggest online and land based tournaments around on PKR. We’ve got satellites rolling to all our big guaranteed tournaments plus cool promotions where you can win your win in to the biggest land based poker events in the world. What are satellite tournaments? The aptly named Chris Moneymaker is possibly poker’s most famous satellite qualifier – he won his way into the WSOP via a satellite tourney in 2003 and ended up winning the event, and $2.5 million along the way. There are two types of satellite tournament – single-table and multi-table. Both work in a similar way, except that a single-table satellite is contested between either six or ten players with the winner taking the seat in the bigger event. The number of qualifiers for the bigger event in a multi-table satellite is determined by the number of players and the size of the prize pool. It’s not uncommon for three or four winners to qualify (with any remaining cash going to the next placed finisher). But there’s no doubting the major draw of online satellite tourneys – the chance to turn a small stake into a major tournament seat. It costs thousands to buy-in to tournaments like the World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour or European Poker Tour. In contrast, Chris Moneymaker won his seat in the WSOP in a $40 online qualifier. PKR have loads of these qualifiers that you can enter almost every day and that you can jump right into. |
