The World Poker Tour is arguably the most successful live tournament series ever and those that would not put it first would put it second just behind the World Series of Poker and circuit events just because of the latter’s prestige. The Five Diamond Classic at the Bellagio in Las Vegas is easily one of the biggest tournaments on the WPT and that is why Party Poker holds massive satellite tournament madness on its site every year to send as many players as possible to that big tournament.

This year, satellite tournaments will be going on for the big tournament starting on October 18th and continuing all the way through to the 21st. Satellite tournaments will be held every Sunday with at least one $14,000 prize package for the tournament available at each weekly satellite tournament. The tournament itself will take place December 3rd to 8th with the grand prize likely in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars range.

The $14,000 prize package that you can win not only contains the $10,300 that you’ll need in order to buy into the tournament, but you can also get some great hotel accommodations in Vegas as well as access to all of the fun Party Poker events that take place before the tournament. At the end of the day, you also have $2000 to spend in any way you wish.

Players wishing to get into the final satellite tournament cheaper than the direct buy-in can always go the route of super satellite qualification. Freeroll tournaments are held everyday for people to qualify into $2 sub qualifiers which in turn lead into $9 super satellites that feed 1 in 10 players up to the main satellite tournament on the weekend. At every stage, players can directly buy into the process and bypass the lower levels in the process.

Players interested in learning more about the process for qualification to the Party Poker team at the Five Diamond Classic can go ahead and check out the tournaments section of the lobby on the Party Poker software package.
