News: Huge overlay expected in PCA ultra-satellite

PokerStars are running one of their biggest satellites in recent memory and if it is anything like the last one, it will be the best value online event of the year.

The last PCA ultra-satellite on October 15 had a $1.5 million guarantee but ended with a whopping overlay of $574,820. That's 38 PCA packages that PokerStars had to fork out for out of their own money.

The next ultra-satellite takes place this weekend and it looks like there could be an overlay in that one too.

Offering 100 packages each, the PCA ultra-satellite runs on November 5 at 20:35 CET. This huge online event can be bought into directly for $530 or won through any one of six ways to qualify.

Here's what you can win with each PCA package:

$10,300 PCA Main Event buy-in
Free hotel accommodation worth more than $3,000 at Atlantis Resort & Casino
$1,000 cash credited to your Stars Account
$1,000 credited on your room to spend at the Resort

Six ways to Satellite in

No matter what your bankroll is or which PokerStars game you prefer, there is something going on to help you win your Caribbean Adventure and gain entry to the ultra-satellites.

There are special Spin & Go qualifiers and 18-player Sit & Go On Demand events as well as Spin & Go Weekly Challenges where players must accumulate 25 points by playing different Spin & Go’s to qualify for Weekly Finals.

There will also be $55 MTT Satellites that will be awarding PCA seats, packages and satellite tickets. Or, try your luck with Cash Game Daily Challenges where, on completion of a daily puzzle, players will be registered to an All-in Shootout for the chance to qualify for Weekly Finals with $50,000 prize pools plus a PCA Package on offer.

Also, over $1 million in PCA satellite tickets have been added to Stars Rewards Chests until November 5 giving you yet another chance to make it to the Bahamas.
