I Plan to Win My Way to the Caribbean -- TKPT Satellites Now On

Another Online Satellite Tournament Champion will Play TKPT St MaartenI enjoy playing poker online but I've never played in a live tournament. Maybe this is my chance! This month Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes are hosting another series of online satellite tournaments that will award a $2700 prize package and send the winner to a live poker tournament in the Caribbean. TKPT St Maarten online satellite tournaments have just begun and will continue until August 22. The winner of the Final on August 23 (me?!) will play in the $100,000 Guaranteed TKPT Main Event on November 25th.

“The winner of this series will be joined by the winner of TKPT satellites we ran last month,” said Intertops Poker’s manager.

“There’ll be a bunch of us in St Maarten – it’s going to be a good time!” added Juicy Stakes’ poker manager.

The winner of an online satellite series last spring won a trip to the CPT St Maarten in May but didn’t do as well at the live tournament as he’d done online. “I played OK, just not my day. On the bright side, I had a fantastic time in St. Maarten before and after the tournament!” he wrote in the Living the Dream poker blog where online tournament winners share their live tournament experiences.
