Intertops Poker players can go to GTD tournament in Caribbean

(PRESS RELEASE) -- This weekend at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Casino, wannabe poker champions have a chance to win their way to a $250,000 GTD tournament in the Caribbean. Players can buy-in to Saturday’s WSOPC Caribbean (St Maarten) Satellite Final, or win their way to that table in one of three qualifiers on Friday and Saturday.

The ultimate winner gets a $4,500 prize package to compete in the Main Event at the $250,000 GTD WSOPC Caribbean in St Maarten this spring. They’ll join two previous satellite series winners and the Intertops Poker team.

“We’re turbocharging this satellite series,” said Intertops Poker’s manager. “Usually we do a three-tier series over a week or two. This time there’s just three qualifiers and a Final all in one weekend.”

The $4,500 WSOPC Caribbean prize package includes $1,700 buy-in for the Main Event in St Maarten, five nights at the newly re-built, all-inclusive Sonesta Maho Beach Resort (right across from the casino) and $600 towards travel expenses. In addition to the Main Event, there will be lots of cash games going on, so the prize package also includes one $100 cash game buy-in.

With two languages (French and Dutch), 37 beaches, over 300 restaurants, duty free shopping, casinos, discos and night clubs, St Maarten is one of the coolest islands in the Caribbean and a favorite stop on the WSOPC Caribbean circuit.

Players can register for online satellites under the Tournaments tab in the poker room lobby.
