2006 WSOP: Full Tilt offering Satellite to WSOP HORSE

The biggest buy in this year at the World Series of Poker is without a doubt the much looked-for HORSE event, which at $50,000 is five times larger than the Main Event itself. The HORSE event sports five different games of poker (which comprise the acronym HORSE) with a sixth for the final table. At $50,000 the pros are hoping the amateurs will stay away, keeping their luck with them. Unfortunately for the pros, a few online poker sites, such as Full Tilt Poker, are offering qualifying satellite events where players can win a seat to the HORSE event for a song.With a direct buy in of just over $500 the satellite event lowers the bar for the less-wealthy, or less-sponsored, poker players out there.
