Four players that won online satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker are at the $500K GTD PPC Aruba tournament this weekend. Poker vlogger thetrooper97 is with them and will be covering the event and players with YouTube videos featuring live play, behind the scenes footage, player hangouts, interviews and hands of the days.
The Main Event of the PPC Aruba begins today and continues until November 7th. News updates and TheTrooper97’s videos will be published in Intertops poker news.
Tim O’Keefe, who’s travelled to several tournaments with Intertops, flew in from Texas. Poker mom Ashley Hines also came from the Lone Star State, bringing her family with here to enjoy the great beaches of Aruba. John Curcuru, a Las Vegas poker pro who joined the Intertops group in St Maarten this spring, just had a short flight from Dominican Republic where he placed 5th at the Punta Cana Poker Classic last week winning $34K. Joan Sandoval couldn’t get time off her day job until yesterday but dove right in when she got here yesterday.
