With the 2009 PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker just around the corner, many online players have begun examining their bankrolls and wondering just how many shots they'll have at the over $40 million in guaranteed prize pools being offered in this year's championship.

One great way to ease your bankroll's burden is to play in the August WCOOP Extreme Satellites; with over a million dollars in seats added and tournaments starting for as little as $7.50, the Extreme Satellites are without a doubt one of the best values to get yourself into any of September's WCOOP events.

The WCOOP Extreme Satellites have been going strong now since early August, and unfortunately for those just finding out about them, they will be ending at the end of this weekend.  Players have precious little time to cash in on this special PokerStars promotion, but that's not to say they shouldn't try because there's still plenty of opportunity before time runs out.

To find out more about the WCOOP and the Extreme Satellite promotion, check out the all new PokerStars WCOOP Radio 2009, a special podcast centered around the World Championship and featuring the radio expertise of PokerRoad's own Scott Huff. 

On the inaugural episode, Huff discusses the Extreme Satellites with PokerStars Tournament Team Leader Bryan Slick and even announces a special freeroll tournament starting this Saturday (8/15/09) for the show's listeners, that is guaranteeing a $27 seat into the Extreme Satellites for the tournament's top ten places.  That event starts at 14:30p.m. EST and can be found under the "Private" tab in the "Tourney" section of the PokerStars lobby (password- "extreme").
