Satellites to begin for NBC's 2008 National Heads-up Poker Championship
Beginning Friday, Feb. 1, you can earn your seat into NBC's 2008 National Heads-Up Poker Championship for just $70 and possibly win half a million.
'Course, you gotta win a couple times in a row, but that's the easy part, right?
$70 and $140 super-satellites sit-n-gos will run 'round the clock to provide the winner (two winners in the $140) entry into the championship satellite.
That satellite is Feb. 17 at 2 p.m., with a buy-in of $540.
Win that, and you'll get a $20,000 entry into being on television.
Oh, and you may get assigned to Shannon Elizabeth. That's worth it, eh?
The satellite is no longer a rebuy tourney and will now begin players with 7500 in chips and a beginning blind of 25/50 with 50-minute levels. Cash will be awarded to top placements, with the grand prize being a seat into the championship.
Satellites and tournaments take place in the Caesars Palace poker room.
This year's heads-up championship will be Feb. 28 through March 2. It's the fourth annual, with prior winners Phil Hellmuth, Ted Forrest, and Paul Wasicka.
