- Equity will be as follows.
80% to the satellite series winner if he/she cashes in the main event or other wsop events and 20% split equally among the other players in the satellite series. This is after 30% tax has been taken off, meaning that the 80% and 20% is taken from what the satellite series winner walks away with after taxes are paid. Only those players that pay for the whole series are entitled to any equity.

- If there is a Tie in the Final Points.
If 2 Players tie in points then they will play a best 2 out of 3 Heads Up Matches to see who goes to The WSOP Main Event. Starting chips will be 4500 and blind levels will be the same as the regular games but with 15 minute levels. If more then 2 players are tied, then we will have a freeze out tournament with just those players, and 15 minute blind levels.
