Intertops Poker online satellite winner heading to European Poker Championship Main Event

(PRESS RELEASE) -- There’s going to be another online satellite winner from Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Casino in the Main Event at the Poker EM European Poker Championship in Velden, Austria this summer. Another round of online satellites concludes 19 May 19. The winner will get a $6,500 prize package and join other satellite winners in the Austrian summer hotspot, Velden am Wörthersee, in July.

Daily satellites start Thursday, 9 May.

The $6,500 prize package includes €2,700 buy-in to the main event (24-27 July), five nights at a premium hotel, some cash to help with travel expenses and a welcome dinner with the Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Casino team.

“It’s a bit of a challenge to schedule when you have players all over the world,” said Intertops Poker’s manager. “This time maybe the times are a little easier for European players. Last time they maybe favored Americans a bit. We mix it up.”
