There’s Still Time To Qualify For The 2018 WSOP Main Event

Last year, around this time, Scott Blumstein took to Twitter before the World Series of Poker Main Event to sell some action.

Selling to the wsop main event. If anyone wants a piece of the winner slide right on in. #primmedmind #simchanger #teamelite

A few of his friends bought in for $60. A month later, those investors collected $40,000 after Blumstein won the title.

It’s every poker player’s dream to play (and ultimately win) the Main Event. Chris Moneymaker‘s win of the prestigious event spurred many of today’s players to take up the game. For most poker players, the steep price tag to enter the Main Event is out of reach. And if you’re unable to find enough investors like Blumstein, there are still avenues to win your seat into poker’s most prestigious event at a fraction of the cost.
