PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker Satellites Underway
PokerHub on March 13th, 2009
The PokerStars Spring Championship of Online Poker – All Stakes with $30 million guaranteed in cash prizes is coming soon–April 2-12, to be exact. And satellites for free entry into many of its 22 poker events, not least of which is the $5 million guaranteed high stakes main event, are already underway.
Satellites for the PokerStars SCOOP, as it’s also called, are being held in the from of FPP reward points qualifiers, STEPS qualifiers, Sit & Go qualifiers, and cash ring game qualifiers. All of these satellite tournaments can be reached by going to your PokerStars lobby and clicking on “Events” and then clicking on “SCOOP”. There you’ll see the full SCOOP satellite schedule.
This year’s SCOOP is particularly exciting as there are really 66 events and not just 22. To explain, we point to the term “All Stakes” added to the end of the annual events usual name, referring to the fact that each event will will actually consist of three different levels: Low Stakes, Mid Stakes, and High Stakes–so that players in every different income bracket can afford to join in on the fun.
Of course, if you win your way into the high stakes events through a PokerStars SCOOP satellite then you don’t really have to be concerned with how much money it costs to buy-in, now do you?
