Poker satellite tournaments or online qualifiers are poker tournaments where you can win seats into bigger events. They are either single table or multi-table but they are a bit different from regular poker tournaments. In a multi-table satellite all the buy-ins will be added up and divided into seats with the rest being cash prizes. For example, if the big event has a $10,000 buy in for one seat and there is $75,000 in the pool, then the top 7 players get a seat and 9th and 10th place would divide up the remaining $5,000.
