HollywoodPoker Runs 6 Daily Satellite Qualifiers into Big Table Tournaments
PokerHub on December 24th, 2008
Allow me to introduce you to HollywoodPoker’s daily satellite qualifier program.
For any big table tournament hosted or sponsored by HollywoodPoker (or any land-based poker event with which they are a participating poker room) all players have equal opportunity to win their way in via a series of online satellite qualifiers.
There are two kinds:
• Multi-table tournaments
• Sit & Gos
Both types have starting buy-ins of $1 + 0.20.
From there, winners earn tickets into higher-rolling satellites where the prizes, predictably, are tickets into even higher-rolling satellites, until one or more players win entry into a big table tournament with a ticket worth one of the following:
• $150 + 12
• $300 + 20 – good for entry into The Big Deal, held every Sunday
• $1,000 + 40 – good for entry into the GRAND, held during the last weekend of each month
Prize pools for each satellite are divided evenly into as many tickets as can possibly be rewarded. So if a ticket is worth $300 and the total prize pool is $3,000, then the top 10 players will win tickets. Leftover cash will go to the top player who didn’t win a ticket.
Tickets of the same value are interchangeable (even between Multi-table tournaments and Sit & Go tournaments).
