888Poker has developed a high profile magnet to get online poker fans into its satellite qualifiers for the next World Series of Poker…the company has put up the difference between the main event top prize and $10 million dollars as an add-on booster if it is won by a 888Poker satellite qualifier.
888 has dubbed the offer “Supersize ME”, saying that it guarantees that if one of its satellite players does win the WSOP main event, he or she will be rewarded with at least $10 million, positioning them alongside past champions who have won $10 million or more in the event such as Martin Jacobson and Jamie Gold.
All 888Poker satellite WSOP qualifiers in any case receive a $12,500 accommodation and travel package to attend the world’s biggest live tournament event in Las Vegas…last year there were 148 such qualifiers.
Talking about the Supersize ME offer this week, poker commentator and player Kara Scott said in a 888Poker statement:
“This makes an already exciting tournament even bigger and more incredible! Imagine getting to the final table of the WSOP Main Event with the possibility of winning a full 10 million dollars. The prize money for the champion is already huge but this takes it one step further and gives all the 888poker qualifiers an even bigger prize to shoot for.”
