These tournaments offer direct entry into the WSOP bracelet events and they are not a step system or a super satellite. Tickets to WSOP bracelet events include the $100 The Opener, $400 PLOSSUS, $525 Super Bounty, $1111 Charity event, $600 Monster Stack as well as the $5000 WSOP Main Event.
Each of these tournaments is being offered at a discounted 8% tournament fee.
Close to $300,000 is being given away in WSOP tickets every week, and every Sunday, GGPoker is giving away dozens of seats to the WSOP Main Event for just a $21.60 buy-in.
On top of the guaranteed seats, GGPoker is also running a Silk Road Leaderboard, the winner of which earns a $5000 WSOP Main Event ticket.
With already so much value being offered, these Silk Road tournaments are becoming even juicier as a majority of them are falling short of their guarantees.
In its third week, as many as 36 out of 47 (over 75%) Silk Road tournaments in the past seven days have missed their guarantees and some by a big margin.
The Silk Road promotion continues to run until August 31. Between today and Friday, over $30,000 is guaranteed across a dozen tournaments.
