Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker have sent lots of online poker players to big-money, live poker tournaments in truly exotic locations. And they’re doing it again this month! Two online satellite series in July will send winners to Caribbean poker tournaments: the $500K Punta Cana Poker Classic and the $500K PPC Aruba World Championship.
The winner of the online poker tournament that begins July 4th, Independence Day, will go to the $500K Punta Cana Poker Classic, October 25th to 31st. You can win your way to the online satellite final in daily Step 1 and Step 2 tournaments that begin on Monday, July 4th. PPC Aruba satellites begin the following week, July 11.
The $5000 prize package awarded to the winner of the Punta Cana Poker Classic Satellites Final on July 11th includes $1650 buy-in to the Main Event and six nights at the luxurious five-star Meliá ‘The Level’ Resort. The Punta Cana Poker Classic gives players lots of time for fun in the sun and, with a full schedule of tournaments, plenty of opportunities to win some cash.
The $4000 PPC Aruba World Championship package includes $2400 buy-in to that Main Event and accommodation at one of the island’s top resorts. Both packages include accommodation, travel expenses and Intertops or Juicy Stakes gear as well as dinner and a night out with the Intertops or Juicy Stakes team.

“There’s a bunch of guys that play a lot of our satellites,” said Intertops’ poker manager. “Lots of rivalries. We’ve taken Tim O’Keefe out of the mix though – he’s a sponsored player now so he’ll be with us in Austria this summer and in the Caribbean this fall, but this time someone else can win the prize packages!”
Tim and other winners of previous online satellite tournaments have shared their poker adventures abroad on the Living the Dream poker blog.
