Caesars Palace $500 Satellite on Feb. 17 Offers One Seat
The NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship has become one of the premiere poker events of the year, not only because of its unique format, but also because of its exclusive field of players. Nearly of all the 64 seats are filled by invited competitors that include seasoned pros and the year’s hottest players. Caesars Palace in Las Vegas is offering the only seat offered to the public that can be won in a live satellite.
On Feb. 17, a $500 buy-in no-limit hold’em satellite will take place at 2 p.m. One exclusive seat will be awarded to the winner, who will get the chance of a lifetime to compete heads up against the world’s best players in a televised event. Single-table satellites for as low as $65 start Feb. 1 and will run daily starting at 9 a.m.
Last year, poker pro Marco Traniello won the Caesars qualifier and competed in the 2007 event, which boasted a star-studded field that included his wife Jennifer Harman. Unfortunately for him, he was eliminated in the first round.
For more information on the Caesars qualifier, call 800-634-6001 and ask for the poker room. Stay tuned to CardPlayer.com for details on how to win one of the two seats to be offered in an online qualifier.
