Steppin to the WSOP

beaston · 04-27-2009, 02:50 AM

WSOP fever has hit PokerStars, and over 200 players have already secured a seat into the main event taking place in July..

Get in while you can...!

You can start the steps with as little as 6fpp, or start off in round 1 with $7.50.

I've had an up and downhill battle, as you can see below.....I'm too tired to play any more this morning, but will pick up again at step 3 (6 total) later this evening.

Is this a 5 step program beaston?

I see you made it up to Step 4 once now, was just wondering how far these steps go.

I played at a poker site a couple years ago and made it to the second round final table, where the top 5 got a ticket to the 2007 WSOP.
I finished in 9th.
Was short stacked coming to the final and the blinds about ate me up, so I had to call with a high pair of J's on the flop, only to get beat with a higher pair of K's on the turn.

I played one final victory table, burned with one hand. Too bad the river didn't give me another J.

Actually, it's 6 steps...:|

One nice thing is: Once you reach step 4, you can either continue on, or cash in for W$215 to play in one of the major tournaments...ie: the Sunday Million

That's really cool. I bet the prize pool is pretty large with those tourneys.

Have you ever placed in one of the Sunday Millions Tourneys?

I would love to play in one of those and walk away with at least doubling my buy-in.
But, I know there are re-buys in those tourneys, so that may be hard to do at times.
