if you play online, you could enter a satellite for as little as $3 generally. a $3 turbo would most likely qualify you for a $30 re-buy, then that might qualify you for a $300 tourney. you just work your way up until the final qualifier.

if you're on a site like P*, look for satellites in the lobby, or events. right now, though, the EPT and WCOOP are the current satellites being offered.

if you play at a casino, the cheapest you'd find would probably be $100 for a super satellite, or $100 for ten people and then one person gets $1,000 to the next event and in the next event, for every ten participants, one person gets a $10,000 entry paid for them.

The cheapest way would be to enter a freeroll. It would be a direct entry but winning such a freeroll usually gets you a seat into another tourney leading into the WPT.

Haven't seen any freeroll for the WPT but have seen it for the WSOP so there should be some around. I have been in some freerolls leading to some big bux tourney but have never gotten anywhere yet. Best I have done is win seat into a 250K at Party and a 200K at Pacific.
