CarbonPoker is offering two paths to the WSOP Main Event, one for MTT players and another for Sit & Go players. For as little as $2 you can begin your path to the Main Event.
Sit & Go players can enter a $2 five player S&G and the winner advances to a six player $10+1 tournament. From there you can win entry to the Grand Final, a $250+25 MTT. These S&Gs run everyday, 24 hours a day. You can skip a step and play either the $10+1 or the $55+1.
MTT players can also start with a $2+.20 MTT. Should you win the first MTT you will get direct entry into the $55+5 Sunday Guraneteed tournament where the winner will earn a trip to the Grand Final. If you place high enough in the $2 MTT you can get a tournament ticket to the $10+1 in which the winner will get a direct buy-in to the Grand Final. Like the S&Gs, you can start at whichever you like.
The $2 MTTs run everyday at 6:30 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 1:45 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 8:30 p.m., and midnight all at CST. The $10 MTTs run every day at 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 9:30 p.m. CST. The $55 MTT runs every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 6:00 p.m. CST.
