Another trio of players will be sent to November's PPC World Championship in Aruba. Both Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker are holding online satellite tournaments, and are expected to host three more this summer. Hungarian player, Daniel Lukacs, snagged a $5000 prize package, upon winning the first online satellite tournament, which took place on July 17th.
The $5000 prize package awarded to all PPC Aruba satellite winners, includes a $2,400 buy-in toward the Main Event, plus accommodations to stay at either the Hilton or Hyatt Resort, both conveniently located along Palm Beach. Travel expenses, along with a $200 tournament buy-in, $300 buy-in, poker room merchandise, and a night out with either the Juicy Stakes or Intertops Poker teams are also included. The Main Event is scheduled for November 4th through the 7th.
July 26th marks the beginning of the second series, which will continue through July 31st, at the Final Table. The final two of the three additional series to be hosted this summer, are expected to be held August 8th through the 14th, and then August 22nd through the 28th.
Intertops Poker manager commented, “There will be lots of tournaments and lots of opportunities to win some cash in Aruba. But there will also be plenty of time for fun in the sun on a beautiful tropical island.”
Last year's Main Event winner was Vincent Fiorenza, who will return this year, for the chance to win the title a second year in a row.
