Win a $45 satellite ticket
The first step to earning your way into the BWPO is earning a $45 buy-in satellite ticket. Super satellites for these events get underway on Jan. 1. They run through Jan. 28.
The buy-in is $5 and two $45 seats are guaranteed for each tournament. The super satellites run four times daily at the following times (in ET):

How to win your way into the opening event
Once you win a $45 seat, you can either try to win your way into the $500 opening event or the $3,500 Main Event.
The opening event satellites guarantee one seat for every 14 entries. They will run daily at 7:30 p.m. from Jan. 1 through Jan. 17.
If you win more than one seat into the event, the seat cannot be redeemed for cash. The additional seats will go directly into the live event prize pool.
If a player with more than one entry busts, they may use their additional entry for re-entry purposes. If players with extra entries do not need to re-enter, those seats will be forfeited.
