A series of online satellite tournaments that begin Wednesday at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes will send the winner to Velden, Austria this summer to compete in the prestigious $770K European Poker Championship. The $6500 EPC Velden prize package to be awarded at the Final on May 6th includes the $2700 buy-in to the Main Event and accommodation in the luxurious mountain resort.
“Velden is a great place for a poker tournament,” said Intertops’ poker manager. “During the day you can relax by the lake and enjoy the mountain air. Then it’s time for high stakes poker with players from all over Europe!”
The European Poker Championship 2018 takes place in Velden from July 18th to 29th. It attracts professional and recreational players primarily from Austria, Germany and Italy. The prize pool for the Main Event beginning July 26th is estimated to be more than €700,000 ($770,000). There are also many other tournaments during the week as well as cash games on more than 40 tables.
In addition to their tournament buy-in and accommodation, the winner will also get $500 towards travel expenses and enjoy a welcome dinner with the Intertops crew.
You can buy-in at any stage of the three-tier EPC Velden Satellite Tournament Series, or try to win your way to Austria for just the initial $3.30 Step 1 buy-in. You can register for the daily tournaments by clicking the Tournaments tab in the poker room lobby at either Intertops Poker or Juicy Stakes Poker.
