Five online players won their way to TKPT St Maarten last month in satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker. Although none of them did particularly well in the tournament they did have some great opportunities to get out of the casino and enjoy some of the fun-in-the-sun that St Maarten has to offer. They were definitely living the dream as they spent their free time ziplining, singing karaoke and partying at the One Love reggae night during St Maarten’s Carnival celebrations.
A player who won his way to TKPT last year, and returned to defend his title, won the three-day tournament. Akash Mazumdar won $17,000 for his second TKPT St Maarten win.
