Satellite Poker Tournament?

What's the difference between a satellite poker tourney and a regular poker tourney?

Low buyin tournaments that feed into the main event.

meaning that winning buys you into another tourney?

i always wonder.. if i won a satellite, can i just take the money and leave instead of joining the main event?

Correct. For example, 500 $20 buyins for a $10K WSOP ME seat.

Free roll satallite's are the best

Was so mad, almost made it to WSOP Main event... lasted 9 hours, out of 1200 people made it to the final 30, and 7 got in.
