19 Live Satellites

Live satellites are an important part of the WSOPC Tallinn festival, not least because they open the door to playing for potentially life-changing prizes for an affordable investment.

There are 19 live qualifiers, seven of which lead to the €1 Million guaranteed Main Event (with a total of 70x €1,500 seats guaranteed!). Yet, there will be plenty of chances to qualify for other Ring Events, including 2-7 Triple Draw and PLO Hi/Lo satellites.

The most common satellite buy-ins will be €60 or €150, which puts them at the more affordable end of the scale. However, no other satellites are as cheap as the special freeroll for the Queens of Tallinn Ladies Event, as it costs nothing, yet guarantees five ladies will win seats.
