Recently the WSOP online client as started doing a step system to earn entry to the WSOP main event in Las Vegas this year. In order to win, as far as I understand, a player would have to win 5th place in the first step, as well as high seats in another 4 steps to get a golden ticket. That means an individual would need to win 5 multi table tournaments in order to get anything out of the process.
It's a long shot to say the least, but for a guy like me it's a dream. There is no way I would be able to scrap together enough cash to enter the WSOP main event, and if I could even get to the 5th step in this promotion I would be ecstatic. Not because I would actually get anything, but it would really kinda validate my desire to put a lot more effort into this year long Something from Nothing venture.
The promotion is either going to be amazingly great for me and my project, or it's going to be a complete waste of time... Only time will tell at this point I guess.
I've only been able to play two of the Step 1 events, and the first one I washed within the first ten mins, but I wasn't paying attention. I played more like I would if it were a fake chip cash game, but on my second attempt I legitimately tried and got 44th out of 233. That isn't great I know, but it's worth mentioning I think.
If you're a praying person, put a prayer in for me because it's going to take a miracle to actually make this happen.
Thanks for reading, and again; Good Luck in The Rings!
