Intertops, Juicy Stakes announce online satellite tournaments

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A series of online satellite tournaments that will send the winner to St. Maarten for the $75,000 TKPT Caribbean poker tournament has just begun at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker. The Final will be held 5 February. Players can win their way to the Final in the three-tier tournament series by winning Step 1 and Step 2 tournaments, or buy in at any stage during.

The ultimate winner will receive a $3,500 prize package that includes the $1,150 buy-in for the three-day Main Event and luxury accommodation at the all-inclusive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort right across from the casino as well as travel expenses. This year, Day 1A, 1B and 1C of the Main Event will be 21–23 March and the Final will be 25 March.

"This is the third time we've sent players to TKPT tournaments in St. Maarten," said Intertops' poker manager. "It's a well-organized event that attracts a mix of professional, semi-professional and amateur players. In addition to the Main Event there are lots of other opportunities to win some cash and for those that need a break from the tables there's lots to do on a friendly, tropical island like St. Maarten!"

"It's great to be able to hit the beach in the afternoon before a night of poker," said Tim O’Keefe who won his way to TKPT Caribbean at Intertops last year. "Don't be distracted by the tropical setting though -- there's some serious money to be made! Last year I did quite well playing some of the smaller tournaments before the Main Event."

Players can register for TKPT online satellite tournaments by clicking on the Tournaments tab in the poker rooms.
