The WSOP-C Playground is about to get underway with its online phase. The Colossus and the Main Event, with $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 guaranteed respectively, will grace the partypoker virtual felts as early as this weekend:
- Colossus Day 1A – Online – Sunday August 19th at 9pm
- Colossus Day 1B – Online – Monday August 20th at 9pm
- Colossus Day 1C – Online – Tuesday August 21st at 9pm
- Colossus Day 1D – Online – Wednesday August 22nd at 9pm
- Main Event Day 1A – Online – Saturday August 25th at 7pm
- Main Event Day 1B – Online – Sunday August 26th at 7pm
Of course, you can qualify for both of these events on partypoker. Online satellites are running every day:
- Colossus Satellites – 6pm and 10pm ($16.50 Rebuy) – 8pm ($33 Re-entry)
- Main Event Satellites – 6pm and 10pm ($55 Rebuy) – 8pm ($109 Re-entry)
Seats won in these satellites can be used for any Day 1, online or live. Hoarding seats can come in handy, as both events use a single re-entry per flight format. This means that players can participate in as many Day 1s as they wish, both live and online, whether they have qualified in a previous flight or not, and use satellite-won seats for every entry and re-entry!
A player CAN send more than one stack to Day 2. This is why, in such a format, players are often seen playing subsequent flights after bagging a small-ish stack in the early days. If you do qualify multiple times, your best stack moves forward, enabling you to tackle Day 2 with a decent army and maximize your chances of seeing the ring up-close… and to wear it!
For the Main Event, there is an extra incentive to play more Day 1s after bagging chips. The registration period for the Main Event extends through the first 2 levels of Day 2. This means that while you shoot for a bigger Day 2 stack, you can also count on being able to use your second-best qualified stack to re-enter Day 2 during the first stint of the day; a comfortable fallback option. It’s like having an ace up your sleeve!
