Caribbean Poker Tournament Enters Final Series at Juicy Stakes Poker
Popular online casino destination, Juicy Stakes Poker, is at it again with their final installation of their online satellite tournament. The winner of this particular tournament however, will find themselves on a dream getaway to the Caribbean for a shot to play in a live series that will crown a champion. Juicy Stakes Poker outlined the tiered tournament schedule as follows: Tier 1: ($2.00 + $0.20 Buy in) Awards: 4 Tickets for Caribbean Tournament Runs: February 28th – March 14th (Daily Awards at 2pm, 4pm, and 6pm EST) Tier 2: ($10.00 + $1.00 Buy in) Awards: 1 Ticket for Caribbean Tournament Finals Runs: March 1st – March 15th (Daily Awards at 8pm EST) Tier 3: ($100.00 + $10.00 Buy in Finals) Awards: $4,100.00 Ends: Sunday, March 15th at 6pm EST The prize money won from the third tier includes $1,650.00 towards the buy in of the $200,000 Main Tournament event to be held in St. Maarten, from April 30th to May 3rd 2015. Manager for Juicy Stakes Poker commented on the trip, saying “St. Maarten is awesome. We've got a double room booked at an all-inclusive resort. A pool with cascading waterfalls and swim-up pool bar, four tennis courts, restaurants, bars, nightclub – ya, it's a rough life for some.” The winner of the last series of CPPT Satellites held in January recalls the game where he eventually won a $4100 CPPT prize package: January's winner of the satellite tournament was interviewed and recounted his experience just prior to winning the $4,100.00 prize: “About 10 hands after the AKs hand, the blinds are 125/250/20 and we are now 4-handed. I open UTG w/A9s and BB calls. Flop is T75ss. He had been calling pretty wide this tournament (~40% from the BB), and he wasn't folding often to Flop C-Bets. So even if my Ace-high is good, I felt it was better to pot control and re-evaluate the turn. After the turn the board reads T759ss. So, I now have second-pair top-kicker, but it's also a card that could improve his hand as well (based on his perceived range). He checks, and I decide to bet for value, betting 525 into a 1,205 pot. He just calls. River is 2s, so the board now reads T7592sss. He checks. The 2s doesn't change that much, as it adds a flush possibility, but doesn't improve any straight draws and is unlikely to improve his paired hands. Hence, if I am ahead with A9 on the turn, I can only get value from a weaker 9x or 7x. It's probably close (betting vs. checking behind), but I decided to check behind, and he turns over 5s3s for a flush. Great flop for him and even better river. But I like the fact that I controlled the betting and lost the minimum.” For all Juicy Stakes players to enjoy, this week there is a promotional 100% Reload Bonus, with deposits of up to $300.00 being doubled.
