Party Poker is now holding satellite tournaments into the World Poker Tour main event happening in the Slovenian city of Portoroz, known for its bustling nightlife and relaxing beachside resorts. The WPT Slovenia main event takes place July 17th through 23rd, 2011 at the Grand Casino Portoroz and costs €3000 + €300 to buy-in.
Satellites and qualifiers into this event run from June 13th through July 3rd, 2011. You can win seats in the WPT Slovenia main event for as little an investment as nothing at all, with freeroll qualifiers running daily, each leading into the $1 WPT Slovenia Sub Qualifier Speed Rebuy events. There are also regular Speed Sub Qualifiers for $6 buy-ins. These lead to the daily Satellite Qualifiers with direct buy-ins of their own of $42 which in turn lead to the actual WPT Slovenia Satellite, held every Sunday for a $390 buy-in, where at least one seat in the Portoroz main event will be awarded.
Each Party Poker prize package for the WPT Slovenia main event is worth $7,700 and includes hotel stay and some expense money on top of the buy-in into the event.
This marks Season 10 of the World Poker Tour, with Party Poker regularly running satellites and qualifiers into many of the series’ main events. Coming up after the WPT Slovenia is the Legends of Poker at the The Bicycle Casino in Las Vegas, held August 25th through 30th, 2011, followed by the WPT Grand Prix de Paris and its High Rollers counterpart, both at the Aviation Club de France, Septemer 5th through 11th, 2011.
