Play an Online Poker Tournament and Win a Live Seat

If you're a fan of online poker and want to improve your skills against a variety of different international opponents, you need to find an online poker tournament to enter. You may also find that your online poker game takes you one step further and grants you entry into a live poker tournament.

Offering seats in live events has become common practise at many poker sites hosting online poker tournament action. All a player needs to do is register and pay his buy-in fee and start competing at a poker table. As he progresses through the tournament and the number of poker players grows smaller, the player increases his chip count and his chance of winning the final poker game. In the last round of the tournament, he faces off against his most challenging opponents to compete for the title and the prize money.

But while winning an online poker tournament can be thrilling, it is even more so when a player wins a seat to a live poker event. Many sites today purchase seats to the most popular live poker tournaments such as the World Series of Poker. Offering these seats as prizes in online tournaments generates a larger number of players and also gains valuable publicity for the gaming site.

When you take into consideration that many live events come with a steep buy-in fee, winning a seat through an online poker tournament can save you a considerable sum of cash. You'll often have accommodation, flights and spending money added to the prize too. So if you've ever dreamed about sitting down at a poker table to play against some of the online poker game's most successful professional players, find online tournaments offering live seats as prizes and start honing your skills.
