UB.com Sending Players To 2010 WSOP Main Event
The 2010 World Series of Poker may still be months away from now, but sites like UB.com are already giving away free seats in the main event.
The top prize for the winners are 2010 WSOP Main Event seats, plus accommodations and spending money, all totalling $12,000 in value per prize package.
And unlike in many other poker sites’ 2010 WSOP satellites, UB.com lets you win multiple times. If you win more than one main event prize package, you simply receive the $12,000 prize package value in UB.com tournament dollars, to be applied toward buy-ins to other major UB.com tournaments.
UB.com is holding Sit and Go tournaments and Super Satellites both, with many of them awarding 25 – 50 seats guaranteed in the 2010 WSOP Main Event.
As UB.com intends to send numerous players to this year’s WSOP main event, these Super Satellites and Sit and Go Satellites will be running all the way up to the 2010 WSOP Main Event itself.
On top of that, UB.com will be keeping a leader board for all the players who have won at least one satellite. The 5 players who have won the most number of 2010 WSOP Main Event seats will receive additional bonus prizes in the range of $750 – $5,000 in tournament dollars. Ready to give it a try? Win your WSOP Seat at UB.com Now!
Any player who makes it to the 2010 WSOP Main Event final table can choose to accept UB Sponsorship, which pays the player a bonus cash amount based on what place they end up taking. For example, 9th place would get a $75K bonus while the 1st place winner would get a $750K bonus.

2010 PokerStars SCOOP Schedule Released
The 2010 PokerStars SCOOP schedule is out, featuring different events/levels and $3 million guaranteed cash awards!
From May 3 – 16, 2010, the Spring Championship of Online Poker, PokerStars SCOOP, is comprised of 33 different events – each with 3 different stakes levels that people can choose from!
Here’s what makes the PokerStars SCOOP schedule so unique:
- A tiered poker tournament structure with a low stakes, mid stakes, and high stakes variant of each series.
- 33 vast and varied online poker events – including Hold’em, Stud, Omaha, Badugi, H.O.R.S.E., Razz, heads-up match play and more.
- Events in the 2010 SCOOP are There’s Limit, Pot Limit and No Limit. There are also events with rebuys and addons, knockouts and six-max options.
- The prizes, of course, are also tiered accordingly – meaning you can get in on the 2010 PokerStars SCOOP action no matter what your bank roll.
The PokerStars SCOOP buy-ins range from as small as $5.50 to the top tier main event buy-in of $10,300. That event, a $5 million guaranteed tournament, takes place on May 16, along with the other two tiers of main events – the middle tier with a $1,050 buy-in and $3 million awards, and the low tier with a $109 buy-in and $1 million prizes. All totalling a guaranteed cash pool of $36 million!
Players can also skirt the direct buy-ins by playing (and winning) in any of PokerStars ongoing satellite tournaments and qualifiers for free seats in many of the 2010 SCOOP events, including of course the main event.

NEW Party Poker Online Cash Game Championship (OCGC) Starts March 1, 2010
Yet another major online Party Poker tournament series, the Online Cash Game Championship (OCGC), will begin March 1, 2010 – featuring 400 poker hands per day and a whooping $250,000 grand prize. 
With big money prizes for players to enjoy, the Online Cash Game Championship (or OCGC) is ready to take off.
Instead of courting Party Poker tournament players, OCGC is courting to cash ring game players this time around:
- Players will be evaluated based on their overall performance in the 400 hands they play – with a leader board keeping track of every participant’s progress, determining who advances to the next level and who places highest in the OCGC rankings.
- The event is every bit as much an elimination style event as any online poker tournament, with the days of the month divided up into the 7 levels, meaning that if you miss level 1 from March 1 – 5, you will not be eligible to participate in level 2 and beyond.
Starting March 1st, the OCGC tournament will allow participants to compete in at least 400 online poker hands per day, starting at the low table stakes of $0.50 / $1.00, and climbing through 7 different levels up to stakes of $5 / $10 – to the Final Table, which is unlike any final table you’ve ever seen in online poker before.
The Party Poker Online Cash Game Championship is a tournament that’s not a tournament – a leader board promotion that’s not a leader board promotion.
At the final table on April 2 (level 7; $5/$10) players will compete for the top cash prize of $250,000. Party Poker will also be awarding smaller cash prizes to every player that advances from one level to the next (with the exception of advancing from level 1 to level 2).
