Five PokerNews-Exclusive Satellites; 25x $109 Seats Added

Between May 10 and May 20, five PokerNews-exclusive satellites take place at PokerStars. They only costs $5.50 to enter, yet PokerStars is adding five seats to the $109 NLHE Anniversary Series Main Event to each. Additional seats will be won for every $109 in the prize pool.

Each PokerNews satellite's structure is identical. Everyone sits down with 5,000 chips. The first two levels last 10 minutes, after which the tournament becomes a turbo with five-minute levels until the satellite concludes.

Blinds start at only 40/80/10a, and up to three re-entries are permitted during late registration, should your first bite (or two) of the cherry not go to plan.
