Which online sites are running qualifiers to Foxwoods WPT event for November? Also, any recommendations on the best tournies/format? I don't want to dump money into a bunch of sites testing them all out. I'd much rather go to one site with the best format and just do it.

Thanks,
HEK

Bodog has a pretty good format for this event (and for almost all other WPT events too, which is convenient).

Does anyone know if the live satellites in Foxwoods give you travel expenses as part of your prize package?

I believe they do not. Leastways I don't ever remember hearing of any such thing. You can go poke around at foxwoods.com and check for sure.

I'm 95 % certain that the answer is no. But call 1-800-FOXWOODS and ask for the poker room. They'll tell you.

Thanks for the bodog tip. Below is from their website. I like the $250+$20 rather than the $200's that Paradise and FT are running. I like 1 outta 48 rather than 1 outta 60. I would still rather play a R&A like last years' Paradise qualifiers but oh well.
