Overlays to the WSOP.
As the World Series of Poker gets closer, so more and more poker sites hold tournaments and satellites with a prize of a seat at the main event. These usually have quite steep entry fees which warn off a lot of competitors, thus leaving a smaller field to compete. This can often lead to an 'overlay'.
This is where a guaranteed prize is more than the money generated by players. Therefore this means that the players are getting terrific value for money. For example at Poker Share last week 32 players paid $270 each to play for a first prize of a seat at the WSOP, worth $13000 , plus $8000 second prize. Thats $21000 on the table for only£8640.
The prize is massive and to be up against only 31 other players will be the best chance you get to spend your summer in Vegas trying for that multi-million dollar prize.
Also check out Sun Poker as their satellites have been really undersubscribed with the $67.50 one attracting 120 players, while the $135 buy-in one only mustered up around 45 players.
Now there are lots of overlays all the time in cash guaranteed tournaments, and I will be bringing these to you all the time on this blog, but deep down everyone wants to play against Hellmuth, Moneymaker or Ivey in Vegas.
Therefore here is a list of the best overlays at the moment. But be quick, as word will spread soon.
