This year GGPoker are sending over 1,000 qualifiers to their WSOP Paradise event. The Main Event boasts a $15 million guarantee – but the real value might be in the satellites.
By pledging such an outlandish number of qualifiers, it is inevitable that many of them are going to overlay. We are only a few weeks into the satellites running and we are already seeing that is the case.
Below are just three of many examples of players who benefited from the overlays. The $1,200 direct qualifiers did not collect the required $10,000 for a package, but the winner bagged one anyway. There have been countless more like this already:
$1,200 might be too rich for a lot of players, but the feeder satellites are also overlaying in some instances. There are regular $125 qualifiers to win a ticket to the $1,200 final, with feeders as low as $15. This is the current satellite structure, which no doubt will change:
| $10,000 WSOP Paradise Package |
| $1,200 Direct Qualifier |
| $125 Mega Satellite |
| $15 Mega Satellite |
Right now most of the satellites only guarantee one seat, but as the event gets closer we will see mega satellites that provide even more value. An important point of consideration, however, is that an overlaying satellite has to go beyond late registration to guarantee the package. If the tournament ends before late registration the winner just takes down the collected prize pool instead.
You can play in satellites after winning a package, however winning a second satellite will only earn you T$5,000, not the full $10,000 package. You can see the full schedule for the GGPoker WSOP Paradise below:
