Satellites into the World Series of Poker Main Event have been around for many years. They remain a popular way to get a seat in the event since it turns even a min-cash into a big profit if you can qualify cheaply enough.
Justin Liberto won his first WSOP bracelet this year, taking down Event #51: $3,000 Six-Max No-Limit Hold’em and collecting a $640,711 first prize. But even with a huge infusion to his bankroll, we found him this weekend grinding the $1,000 Mega Satellite into the Main Event, where he was among 96 runners who shipped a seat late Saturday evening.
