First 'Living the Dream: TKPT St Maarten' video blog now live

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The first episode of "Living the Dream: TKPT St Maarten" is now on the Living the Dream poker blog.

The web video series will follow five online satellite tournament winners from Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes competing in the TKPT Caribbean Main Event next week. The preview episode introduces the players and gives a peak at the fun-in-the-sun that's in store for them during the week of tournament poker.

The Living the Dream poker blog will have daily videos from St Maarten, following the five online players as they compete in the Main Event and as they enjoy everything else the tropical paradise has to offer. Tim O'Keefe, Chris Perkins, Elena Stover, John Curcurcu and Gabor Kresco all won online satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker.

In the preview video, tournament organizer Thomas Kremser talks about what to expect next week.

"The tournament attracts both professional and recreational players from around the world. It's serious poker," said Kremser, "but there's also be some serious fun to be had!"

Kremser is organizing island excursions for players like zip lining, ATV touring and a party bus with DJ and open bar.

"This is the third time we've taken a bunch of online tournament winners to a big live tournament," said Larry Colcy, aka The Gamblogger, who follows the players with his video camera (actually, iPad Mini). "It's interesting to watch the guys adjust to the different kinds of players they encounter at international tournaments. Tim and Chris were with us at CAPT Seefeld so it'll be good to hang out with them again!"

In February, Living the Dream went to CAPT Seefeld in Austria with a group of online satellite tournament winners. Before that, the poker blog published video reports from CPT Punta Cana. The next poker adventure will be in July when winners of current online satellite tournaments will go to the European Poker Championships at CAPT Velden in Austria.

Living the Dream video reports from TKPT St Maarten will be available online beginning April 27. They will also be available via the blog's Facebook page.
