Your road to the WSOP is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Get Ranked and get Qualified!
How it works:
Play in any of the daily specially marked Skill League games during the month in the PSO Card Room Software and get ranked in your membership level's Skill League leader board (minimum 7 events to get ranked). The top players on each Skill League leader board at the end of the month will advance to the monthly qualifying tournament:
Gold Members: Top 50 ranked players qualify. Silver Members: Top 30 ranked players qualify. Bronze Members: Top 20 ranked players qualify. - Once qualified, play in the monthly Qualifying Tournament and finish in the top 20 places to advance to the Main Event. Double your chances for a WSOP seat by finishing in 1st or 2nd place in the monthly qualifiers and qualify for the Elite Final AND the Main event!
- Play in the Learn to be a Champ Main Event for a chance to be awarded one of many WSOP seats being given away to the top players. Elite qualifiers will play again in the Elite Final for yet another chance at a $10k seat into the WSOP main event!
