Velden is a posh lakeside summer health resort with sports and outdoor activities like golf and hiking. With Casino Velden at its heart, it's also known for its nightlife. CAPT Velden is one of the premiere events on the Casinos Austria Poker Tour and attracts professional and recreational players primarily from Austria, Germany and Italy.
"I've been pretty successful online and in local casinos," said Tim O'Keefe, who recently won his way to CAPT Seefeld. "It was quite an adventure playing in a big European tournament. I learned a lot -- Europeans sure play different than they do in Oklahoma! The Intertops team took great care of us and I'm really grateful for the experience!"
The next group of Intertops and Juicy Stakes online satellite winners is off to the Caribbean in April for TKPT St Maarten. Like the CAPT Seefeld team and the group that went to CPT Punta Cana before that, they'll share their tournament experiences on the Living the Dream poker blog.
Until March 28, $200 GTD Easter Freerolls continue at both poker rooms every day at 2:15 p.m. EST and up to $1,000 GTD tournaments continue every night at 8:15 p.m. EST. Both Intertops and Juicy Stakes, the leading sites on the Horizon Poker Network, are also offering an up to $200 reload bonus this week.
