Win Your Way to European Poker Championship in Online Satellite Tournaments

A new series of online poker tournaments that will send winners to the €700,00 European Poker Championships at CAPT Velden this summer is just beginning at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Pokers, just as one group of previous online satellite tournament winners prepares to compete in the Caribbean.

Next week, five online poker players will compete in the Main Event at the $500,000 TKPT tournament in St Maarten. I'll be posting videos of their poker adventure on the Living the Dream poker blog starting April 27th.

Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker are hosting a three-tier tournament series with buy-in from $2.20

This week, online satellites for the European Poker Championships, CAPT Velden begin. The winner will travel to Austria’s ‘Monte Carlo of the Alps’ to play in the prestigious €700,000 CAPT Velden European Poker Championship this summer. Their €4,500 ($5,000) prize package includes $500 in travel expenses, 5 nights accommodation plus €2500 + €200 buy-in to the Main Event at CAPT Velden.

The winner will be joined in Austria by the winner of a CAPT Velden Online Satellite series held last month, Hungarian Gabor Kresco.

CAPT Velden, July 20 – 25, 2016, is one of the premiere events on the Casinos Austria Poker Tour and attracts professional and recreational players primarily from Austria, Germany and Italy.

Players can buy-in at any stage of the three-tier European Poker Championship Satellite Tournament Series, or possibly win their way to Austria for just the initial $2.20 Step 1 buy-in.
