PokerStars sponsors a huge number of live poker events around the world every year, and if you can’t afford to pay the entry fees, there is always a way to get in cheap via online satellites.

EPT (European Poker Tour) London finished at the start of October. If you grinded enough to earn PokerStars Elite status, you could have chosen to participate in the Main Event as one of your PokerStars rakeback benefits. Everything was scheduled between September 29th and October 4th, and the series was a great success. The Main Event was a £5,250 buy-in, and it got 848 players for a total prize pool of £4,112,800. There were many players in the field that won their seats on the biggest download free poker site on the Internet. The most successful PokerStars player in the field ended up being Arturn Wasek; he finished in 4th place for £240,000.

If you appreciate charities and helping the less fortunate, then you have another reason to endorse the PokerStars bonus code. EPT London hosted a 2-day event from October 2-4. Since £10 from each buy-in was going to Cancer Research UK, the total entry fee was £100+10+10. Re-entries were permitted in this event, and the guaranteed prize pool was an impressive £100,000. Those interested in contributing even more to the charity could do so with a simple transfer on their PokerStars download. They just had to transfer funds to the user ID “CancerUK”.

Those that visited Belgium this past month were able to play poker in the Belgian Open Poker Championship from October 9th to October 17th. The Main Event Day 1 was split into 4 days, and you could play different tournaments on the other three days. Players had the option of six total events. Ladies sick of top Texas Holdem sites were able to play a freezeout for ladies only with a buy-in of €110 on October 17th.

If you are American and play in casinos for USA players, you can participate in the United States Poker Championship in Atlantic City. You will need $5,250 to play the Main Event, although if cannot afford it, you could try your luck at online qualifiers. The other option is to just stick to the smaller buy-ins between $300 and $600. If you want to play the Ladies Event, the buy-in is $265+$35.

Sometimes we need to leave the online poker and just play some traditional live poker. If you want to become known in the poker community, your best bet might be to win a large scale brick-and-mortar event. The next time you feel the poker urge, maybe take a break from your computer and head over to your local casino instead.
