US Players WSOP 2011 Satellites
Post Black Friday Rundown Of The Best World Series Qualifiers For US Players
 The pullout of the Stars, Tilt and AP / UB from the US has significantly restricted the options for American players wanting to qualify online for this years World Series Of Poker. Fortunately there are at least two great options remaining – and both of these sites have seen a significant increase in players recently.
This article currently covers the WSOP 2011 qualifiers for US players available at Cake Poker and Carbon Poker. If any other options appear which are worthy of a mention I will update.
World Series Of Poker Qualifiers For US Players – Top Pick – Cake Poker
Cake have gone from a smaller alternative to the 2nd largest network for US players overnight (behind Merge). They are offering a choice of Main Event packages worth $12,000 and ‘Vegas Spree’ packages designed to cover the side events, these are valued at $2500.
Qualifiers for the Main Event focus on a Sunday Supersatellite, which costs $490 and runs at 4pm ET. Sub-qualifiers for this event range from just $1 through to $90 and are scheduled throughout the week – hourly for the lowest buy-in events. With so many sub-qualifiers you can be sure the fields are a mix of ability levels, everyone is able to take a shot.
There are also special Steps SNGs ( and MTT Steps at the lowest levels) which give away the ‘Vegas Spree’ tickets, these are running constantly – though the highest levels are only running a few times a day at the moment.
Cake Poker make a great choice for world series satellites, with the cash for the even paid immediately following the qualifier into your player account. Look out for the highly-rated ‘Gold Card’ and ‘Gold Chip’ loyalty promos, in addition to a 110% sign-up bonus (bonus code = SNGPLANET) up to $600.

World Series Qualifiers For US Players – Carbon Poker (Merge Network)
Thanks to easy deposits and great software, the Merge Network and its biggest site Carbon Poker are now the largest US friendly poker site of all. Carbon run the same qualifier structure throughout the year in the form of their ‘Live Seat’ satellites. These build up to a Sunday supersatellite costing $460, with only these big tournaments running (and the many sub-qualifiers for those who do not want to buy-in direct) we can expect big fields and lots of $12k packages to be given away.
Carbon are not a surprise as the biggest beneficiary of the big site pullouts. They were a growing alternative already and thanks to a mix of great promos (including an excellent VIP rewards scheme) and top software are expected to grow more.
You can claim a special 200% bonus (max $600) + free $11 SNG token with your first deposit with bonus code SNGPLANET. Click to check out the new US number #1, Carbon Poker now!!
