Full Tilt Poker Awarding Bellagio Seats

Thursday July 01, 2010

Full Tilt Poker is offering players two more chances to win their seat into the main event of the World Poker Tour's Bellagio Cup VI for as little as one dollar.

The Bellagio Cup VI begins on July 11 in Las Vegas before finishing five days later having crowned a champion. The buy-in for the main event has been reduced from last year's $15,400 to a much less eye-watering $10,300 while Full Tilt Poker is offering a seat into the final alongside $1,700 for travel and accommodation expenses.

Direct and step sit-and-go qualifiers will be available on the poker until July 4 with the penultimate direct satellite awarding a seat set for this evening at Full Tilt Poker with a high-stakes buy-in of $1,060. The final direct qualifier will take place on July 4 at 4.30pm New York time and features a much more affordable direct buy-in of $640.

Competitors can also earn their place in one of the satellites for 50 player points while Full Tilt Poker revealed that it is also awarding Bellagio Cup VI prizes through its seven-step sit-and-go tournaments, which begin for only $3.30.

Players that qualify for the Bellagio Cup VI through Full Tilt Poker can take advantage of discounted room rates at the Bellagio hotel while players must be 21 years old in order to take part.
