PKR Announces “Road to Vegas” Satellites

PKR.com, the revolutionary 3D poker site, has announced their “Road to Vegas” promotion which promises to award thirty-three seats to various WSOP events in 2009. This is a significant increase from their WSOP satellites last year, and they hope to have Team PKR put on a spectacular showing at this year’s WSOP. And of course, since this is a PKR sponsored event you can bet that the entire thing is done in a fun and creative way. Here’s how it works:

Each week PKR gives away one WSOP package, and over 33 weeks that equals 33 total packages. Also, every week the satellite has a special stipulation to it. For example, this week is a freeroll that satellites players into the heads up $10,000 event, but the satellites has a “variable starting stack”. What this means is that players earn their starting stacks by playing real money sit and go’s at PKR.com.

Every dollar you win playing sit and go’s equals 1 chip in the WSOP satellite. So, if you win $500 playing sit and go’s throughout the week, you’ll start the satellite with 500 chips. This is a great tournament for sit and go specialists, as you can enter the freeroll with a decided advantage in your big stack.

PKR has plans for future satellites that will involve PKR point races, touranment leader board standings, and high hand jackpots to create a fun tournament that everyone will enjoy.

For those of you who don’t know about PKR.com, they are a revolutionary online poker site that launched a year and a half ago, and has already blown up to become a major player in the online poker market. Although they don’t accept USA players, they still have a huge player base and their 3D software provides a great player experience. If you’re a serious player, you can even get rakeback at PKR which will help your hourly win rate.
