satellite poker tournaments

Satellite tournaments are an alternative to high-profile, expensive poker tournaments and represent the same means of entering a major event without posting a large amount of cash. These have significantly smaller buyins, usually on the order of one-tenth to one-fiftieth the main tournament's buy-in, and can be held at various venues around the world and, more recently, online. Top players in this event, in lieu of a cash prize, are awarded seats to the main tourney, with the number of places dependent on participation. Chris Moneymaker, who won the 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event, was able to afford his seat by winning an online satellite tournament with a $39 buyin. Greg Raymer, 2004 World Series of Poker champion, acquired his seat via a $165 satellite poker tournament.
