One of the most eagerly anticipated events of the PokerStars Jet Set Series takes place on June 28: the $300,000-guaranteed Jet Set Cruise. Although the buy-in for this tournament is $75, you could be battling away for a slice of that huge prize pool for as little as $1.10. Here is how.
Episode 14-M: $75 Jet Set Cruise is a $300,000 guaranteed No-Limit Hold'em event played as a progressive knockout (PKO) across two days. Cards are in the air from 6:05 p.m. BST on June 28, with each entrant sitting down with 50,000 chips. Late registration remains open for four hours, during which time up to five re-entries are permitted, so securing some extra bullets from satellites is an excellent idea.
Brazilians Dominated Last Year's Jet Set Cruise
Last year's Jet Set Cruise saw 7,115 PokerStars players take to the virtual felt. Brazilians dominated proceedings, finishing in the top three places. "manocaio" was the Samba star who came out on top. They won $30,529 from the regular prize pool and $18,051 in progressive bounties, for a total haul of $48,580.
A whole raft of satellites is currently in the PokerStars lobby, giving players the chance to play their way into the $300,000 Jet Set Cruise. Those satellites start at only $1.10 and increase to a still affordable $22. They guarantee between two and 150 seats in the $75 target event!
Satellites From Only $1.10
Those reading this article who are on a tighter budget or who dream of turning a tiny investment into a large score should check out the $1.10 satellite that starts at 8:25 p.m. BST on June 28. The Jet Set Cruise will be in play if you win your seat from this satellite, but you'll have only paid $1.10. Ten $75 seats are guaranteed in this satellite.
Some of the best value satellites for this event cost $11 to enter. The one that begins at 6:05 p.m. BST on June 27 promises to award at least 75 seats! Another $11 buy-in, 75-seat satellite shuffles up and deals at 3:15 p.m. BST on June 28.
Then, at 4:05 p.m. BST on June 28, there are a cool 150 seats guaranteed for only $11.
The Jet Set Cruise serves as the perfect warm-up event for the upcoming Jet Set Season Finale. That begins on July 12, and sees $350,000 guaranteed for a $75 buy-in.
