Take a Stroll Down the PokerStars Power Path
PokerStars created the Power Path promo with the very idea of giving players a chance to play in tournaments that are outside of their regular bankroll capacities.
Tournament tickets won via Power Path can be used in many ways. Although the focus is usually on live tournaments, you can also use them to buy into major online events, such as the SCOOP Main Event.
There are Gold and Silver Power Path SCOOP bundles, so it boils down to what your ambitions are and how much time and effort you can put into it. A Gold bundle will unlock full access to the potential SCOOP glory, but a Silver package, which is easier to obtain, is nothing to scoff at, either.
Gold Power Path SCOOP Bundle | Silver Power Path SCOOP Bundle |
1x $5,200 Ticket | 2x $1,050 Tickets |
4x $1,050 Tickets | 2x $109 Tickets |
5x $109 Tickets | 8x $22 SCOOP tickets |
6x $55 SCOOP tickets | $6 in Tournament Dollars |
$25 in Tournament Dollars | – |
The Gold Power Path bundle will give you a shot at four of the six Main Events. You can use the $5,200 ticket to play the PLO-H Main, the $109 to take a few shots at the NLHE Main Event-L, and the four $1,050 tickets can be used for both Medium Main Events.
With the Silver package, you get to play in the NLHE Main Event Low, which is probably the most valuable of the bunch, plus you get two $1,050 tickets to be used for Medium events.
Finally, if you happen to have any Step 4 Power Path tickets kicking about in your account, you can use these to buy directly into the $109 NLHE Main Event-L and battle it out for a share of at least $2,000,000 in prize money.
Satellite Your Way to a SCOOP Main Event Seat
In addition to different Power Path bundles that can be used for SCOOP events, PokerStars is also offering a variety of MTT and SNG satellites. With a couple of days still left before the action kicks off, there is enough time to qualify this way.
As always, there are qualifiers on offer to fit every bankroll. Depending on what games you’re looking to play, there are different MTT qualifiers on offer, and it’s even possible to turn a small $1.10 entry into a $10,300 Main Event ticket!
