Even though the World Series of Poker will not take place until the summer, Full Tilt Poker has already started to put a lot of WSOP packages on the table as part of prizes within the different tournaments that they have going on.

This year promises to be a landmark year in WSOP Main Event giveaways on the part of Full Tilt Poker as they are planning to give hundreds of different players entry into the Main Event through the satellite tournaments that they offer.

The fun starts on April 4th with a satellite tournament that contains 5 different entries into the World Series of Poker Main Event. Every single Sunday will see additional tournaments with the same 5 prize packages available, but these tournaments are nowhere near as abundant in prize packages as the main satellite tournament.

This tournament will take place on June 20th and will have an absolutely amazing 150 seats to the WSOP Main Event available. In just one tournament, 150 players will be named to the Full Tilt Poker sponsors list and for that reason this tournament is guarded well with a $640 buy-in for players that are serious about taking that shot.

At the same time though, super satellites are available both for the weekly events and for the big 150-seat event. If you get lucky enough, you could parlay your super satellite buy-in as low as $1 into millions by making it all the way to the final table of the WSOP Main Event and beyond.

This year, the prize packages that Full Tilt Poker is offering are valued at $12,000. This means that if you win the package, you will get the $10,000 buy-in at the World Series of Poker Main Event and you will then have $2000 leftover that you can use to buy airfare and accommodation to and in the city of Las Vegas.

It is certainly a good time to play online poker at Full Tilt Poker because the road to the World Series of Poker could start with a buy-in as low as $1. If this seems strange, just remember that both Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer were able to parlay small buy-ins at satellite tournaments into WSOP glory.
