Juicy Stakes has already sent a few online poker tournament champions to the Caribbean to play in a live tournament and this month one more online player will get that chance. A final series of online satellite tournaments has just begun. The winner of the Final CPPT Satellite Tournaments will get a $4100 prize package that includes $1650 buy-in to the $200,000 CPPT Main Event in St Maarten, April 30th to May 3rd 2015.
Juicy Stakes will also double your deposits up to $300 until March 8th. To claim this poker bonus just enter bonus code MAR15 when you deposit.
“St Maarten is awesome,” said Juicy Stake’s poker manager. “We’ve got a double room booked at an all inclusive resort. A pool with cascading waterfalls and swim-up pool bar, four tennis courts, restaurants, bars, nightclub – ya, it’s a rough life for some.”
This is a three-tier tournament format. There’s a $2 + $.20 buy in for Step 1. You can win your way from there to the final table or buy in at any stage.
Step 1 ($2 +$.20) are held daily until March 14th at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm EST. Each game will award 4 tickets to Step 2 ($10 + $.10) which are held daily at 8 pm EST until March 15th. The Final, where the $4100 prize package will be awarded, is on Sunday, March 15 at 6 pm EST.
The winner of the last series of Caribbean poker tournament satellites held in January recalls the game where he eventually won a $4100 CPPT prize package:
“About 10 hands after the AKs hand, the blinds are 125/250/20 and we are now 4-handed. I open UTG w/A9s and BB calls. Flop is T75ss. He had been calling pretty wide this tournament (~40% from the BB), and he wasn’t folding often to Flop C-Bets. So even if my Ace-high is good, I felt it was better to pot control and re-evaluate the turn.”
“After the turn the board reads T759ss. So, I now have second-pair top-kicker, but it’s also a card that could improve his hand as well (based on his perceived range). He checks, and I decide to bet for value, betting 525 into a 1,205 pot. He just calls.”
“River is 2s, so the board now reads T7592sss. He checks. The 2s doesn’t change that much, as it adds a flush possibility, but doesn’t improve any straight draws and is unlikely to improve his paired hands. Hence, if I am ahead with A9 on the turn, I can only get value from a weaker 9x or 7x. It’s probably close (betting vs. checking behind), but I decided to check behind, and he turns over 5s3s for a flush. Great flop for him and even better river. But I like the fact that I controlled the betting and lost the minimum.”
