$500 GTD PPC Aruba Tournament Kicks Off
This weekend is the $500K GTD PPC Aruba tournament, which is currently in its fourth season. It kicked off on November 4th, and will continue through the 7th. It features four players which have won online satellite tournaments at both Intertops and Juicy Stakes Poker. The satellite winners scored $4,000 prize packages, which included a $2,400 buy-in to the Main Event, plus accommodations, and travel expenses. The package also includes a $200 and $300 tournament buy-in, in addition to dinner, a night out with the Intertops & Juicy Stakes team, plus gear from either of the two poker rooms. Those interested in keeping up with the event can do so by following Poker vlogger, TheTrooper97, who will release YouTube videos covering the event. Users can look forward to interviews, behind the scenes footage, and more. Videos will be published in Intertops' 'News' section. Among the four players is John Curcuru, a professional poker player from Las Vegas, who first joined the Intertops team in St Maarten this past spring. He recently played in the Punta Cana Poker Classic last week, where he placed 5th, and walked away with $34K. John traveled straight from the Dominican Republic to compete in the Aruba tournament. Tim O'Keefe is another player, who comes from Texas, and has participated in a variety of tournaments through Intertops. Due to a strict work schedule, Joan Sandoval joined the team last minute, while Ashley Hines, also from Texas, had the privilege of bringing her entire family along for the ride.
