April 12, 2017 — St. Johns, Antigua (Press Release) – The winner of an online satellite tournament beginning tomorrow at Intertops Poker and Juicy Stakes Poker
will compete in the prestigious European Poker Championship in Velden, Austria this summer.
The three-tier tournament series begins with Step 1 tourneys with just a $3 buy-in. Players can win their way from there to the Final on April 23rd. The ultimate champion will receive a $4000 prize package that includes €2700 buy-in to the EPC main event (July 27th to 30th), accommodation at a premium hotel close to the casino and cash for travel expenses.
Last year three online satellite tournament winners from Intertops and Juicy Stakes (Tim O’Keefe, Gabor Kresco and Emil Hegedus) competed in Velden.
“The idea of scooping a win for insane amounts of money for only a cheap satellite entry online is living the dream to be sure!” said O’Keefe from his home in Texas. “Not only do Intertops and Juicy Stakes pick great tournaments in great spots, they over deliver on taking care of their players.”
“I wish I could say I took home the title in Velden, but the experience itself was a win for sure,” recalls O’Keefe. “We all made day two, which is always tough and a plus for any poker player. The big buy-in and long structure always bring around the better players, so just making it that far was quite an accomplishment. I was a bit jealous the others hit the beach without me but I can't complain too much since I was playing for a chance at $142K and the trophy!”
Tim was eliminated early on Day 3 but Emil went out in 6th place. He was disappointed it wasn't a win, but the $26k in his pocket made him feel better very quickly!
This year the EPC Velden prize pool is estimated to be over €700,000 (over $770,000). Players from all over Europe (especially Germany and Italy) will play tournaments and cash games on more than 40 tables at the exclusive lakeside resort.
