The WSOP (World Series of Poker) Tournament
The biggest and most renowned poker tournament, the one that every pro poker player is aware of and the tournament with the biggest prize pot is the World Series of Poker. Being the most popular poker tournament, obtaining a seat at the table is nearly an impossible task. That is unless you have $10 000 in change to buy a seat or if you are one of the lucky players to have won a seat through a satellite tournament.
Satellite tournaments are set uparound the world allowing players to compete for the ultimate prize; a seat at the WSOP tournament. Most satellite tournaments are online and the sites that hold the competitions offer players a chance to work their way up a 'tier system' the lowest tier being the cheapest and the highest being the most expensive.
Winners of WSOP gain millions of dollars in the ultimate cash prize and also stand to win a bracelet which is the ultimate prize. The event is held annually at Las Vegas in Nevada and Texas Hold'em is the game of choice.
The World Poker Tour (WPT)
The televised event is one of the biggest in the world due to the high stakes and additional prizes. Buy in ranges from $4 000-$25 000 and winners are awarded with World Poker Tour status membership, they have the privilege of having their names engraved on the trophy cup and of course they walk away with millions in cash prizes.
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure
Possibly the most alluring title of them all, the PokerStars tournament is an annual event held in the Bahamas with a buy in amount of $10 000. Throughout the years there have been some changes with PokerStars taking over the tournament and settling on the $10k buy in. The event is internationally televised and the main prize pool amount reaches up to an impressive $20 million.
The Big One for One Drop - Invitational Tournament
