    As you prepare to play your favorite sites satellites for the WSOP Main Event, I thought I would pass along some info that some may have missed.......

    Make sure you note that most of the Sites do not provide for a hotel (they just give expense money).

    Of those that do provide for a hotel and actually tell you which one:

    pokerstars: Palms (8 nights-extended if you are still in)

    For Non-US Players
    Mansion Poker has the best deal IMO
    12 Days at The Venetian

    Sun Poker: Rio (7 nights)

    Couple of Sites have some very interesting features:

    Most everyone knows about Full Tilt's $10 Million Bonus if you win the Main Event.....

    But I think UB has several interesting (and possible lucrative) features

    Every UB Army player wins at WSOP
    • Win a share of the team pro's winnings. Twenty-five percent of our online pro team's action at the main event (Debo, KK, POkerH0, Shawn Rice, and Scott Ian) is shared by the members of the UB ARMY.
    • Watch your fellow comrades and win piece of the UB ARMY. UltimateBet will chip in 10% of ARMY players' WSOP main event winnings to distribute among the UB ARMY.
    • All players receive an entry into an exclusive qualifying tournament for an $8,500 Aruba Poker Classic prize package
    • BONUS: Any UB Army member who makes it to the Main Event final table wins an additional bonus of $200,000. You could win even more by placing higher in the final standings.
    Exclusive access and gear for the UB ARMY
    • Main Event Grand Entrance with Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, and your fellow comrades
    • Exclusive UB parties and access to the UltimateBet Barracks
    • UB ARMY gear including Camo wear, UB Army tags, and t-shirt
    • Boot camp sessions located in the UB Barracks (UB Lounge) with online pros, Annie Duke, and Phil Hellmuth
    PokerStars has:
    • Hotel suite upgrades for Supernova and Supernova Elite VIP members.
    • Shuttle bus service each day to the Rio.
    • Cash bonuses of up to $50,000 for qualifiers that make a TV table.
    • Additional bonuses of up to $1,000,000 for players that make the final table.
    Good Luck to all

    For some reason FTP doesn't advertise their final table bonuses, but I finally got them to state what they pay after several emails.... this is different than what is listed in their official rules btw.....

    Hello Douglas,

    The Main Event final table bonuses will be as follows:

    9th - 6th: $150K
    5th - 4th: $250K
    3rd: $300K
    2nd: $400K
    1st: $10Mil (if your seat was won on Full Tilt Poker)

    To receive these bonuses, the logo must be clear and in plain view.

    Regards,

    Steve
    Team Full Tilt
