For anyone unfamiliar with the process, players often qualify for major poker tournaments like the EPT through satellite events. These events offer a chance to win entry into larger tournaments without paying the full buy-in. The qualification process involves a series of smaller tournaments that gradually increase in buy-in and stakes until a player secures a seat to the main event. The ultimate goal is to win a package, which often includes the main event entry, travel, accommodation, and spending money. The value of these packages can vary widely but usually amounts to several thousand dollars.
