August 24, 2018December 4, 2018 | Playground

With the Colossus in full swing, the WSOP-C Playground is now underway. Event #2, the $1,000 + $100 Main Event, starts on partypoker this Saturday August 25th, while its first live flight, Day 1A, is held on Tuesday the 28th at Playground Poker Club. One day earlier, on Monday the 27th, will be held the first of 8 Mega Satellites, presenting a total of 210 guaranteed seats!

Players have been working their way towards the Main Event for some time now. The first WSOP-C Playground Main Event Satellite was held on June 3rd! Since then, a vast number of players have qualified for the big dance, both online on partypoker and live at Playground Poker Club. In the 3-Day Satellite Frenzy alone, held Monday to Wednesday of this week, 55 Main Event seats were awarded.

If you haven’t won yours yet, don’t stress too much over it; we have you covered. Mega Satellites are satellites that present a big guarantee, thus harbouring a lot of players. On the WSOP-C Playground schedule, you will find eight of them, all with a $110 + $10 buy-in, held Monday to Friday of next week:

Monday, August 27th at 8PM – 20 seats guaranteed
Tuesday, August 28th at 2PM – 30 seats guaranteed
Tuesday, August 28th at 8PM – 30 seats guaranteed

Thursday, August 30th at 2PM – 30 seats guaranteed
Thursday, August 30th at 8PM – 30 seats guaranteed
Friday, August 31st at 8PM – 10 seats guaranteed

For some players, these tournaments represent their last chance at winning a Main Event seat. Others have been waiting for these to jump on the satellite scene, knowing full well the kind of value that they offer. These are your stepping stones. Pick your dates!
