Take it from Justin Vaysman of Pennsylvania, who won his BetMGM Poker Championship prize package online and traveled to Las Vegas for the first wave of BetMGM tournaments at the ARIA Poker Classic. He finished sixth at the final table of the Mystery Bounty for $18,600 in prize money plus $45,500 in bounties.
The step satellite system is the best way to qualify for the main satellites. Step 1 is the $2 satellite, always with at least one $10 ticket guaranteed to move to the next step. (These are MTTs on demand, whenever enough players sign up to play.) Step 2 is that $10 satellite with the guarantee of at least one ticket in the prize pool worth $100. Coincidentally, Step 3 is the $100 satellite, each of which guarantees at least five entries to the $600 final step satellites.
Step 4 is listed in the poker tournament lobby – under the BetMGM Poker Championship tab – as the “FINAL” satellite. Two of the finals – June 6 and June 9 – already awarded their five prize packages, and there are still six players in each state ready to go.
- Thursday, June 13: $600 buy-in (or step ticket) with 2 prize packages guaranteed
- Sunday, June 16: $600 buy-in (or step ticket) with 3 prize packages guaranteed
- Thursday, June 20: $600 buy-in (or step ticket) with 1 prize package guaranteed
