WPN Sending 50 Players to 2015 WSOP Main Event

The Winning Poker Network (WPN) is dishing out $625,000 to 50 winning players in the form of 50 entries to the 2015 WSOP Main Event plus $2,500 in spending cash.

Beginning February 22 and continuing every Sunday until June 21, qualifier tournaments will be hosted that guarantee WSOP packages valued at $12,500 each. The buy-in for the Sunday tournaments is $55 and the number of winners for each event varies from two to five.

Every Wednesday starting May 20 and extending through June 17, additional qualifiers will be held at a buy-in of $109. That's a total of 23 opportunities to gain entry to the WSOP ME on the cheap, much the same way that Chris Moneymaker did in 2003.

Players who want to earn a seat to poker's most popular annual tournament at an even cheaper price can enter satellites to the qualifiers starting at only $7.70. Those tourneys are running now at WPN's top skins, Americas Cardroom and Black Chip Poker.

Winners of the qualifying events will see $11,500 deposited into their accounts immediately to cover the Main Event $10,000 buy-in, with extra for food and lodging. After showing proof of registration, another $1,000 will be added for a total of $12,500.

The 2015 WSOP Main Event is set to pay out more players - about 15% of the field. That's 5% more than years past, equivalent to several hundred more players who will turn a profit at poker's most prestigious tournament.

Players who have yet to try Black Chip Poker or Americas Cardroom can take advantage of a 100% up to $1,000 first-time deposit bonus. It's an awesome opportunity to make some bonus cash, and perhaps use that cash to enter the Wednesday and Sunday qualifiers and head to the Rio in Las Vegas for the WSOP Main Event!
