During that time, Intertops will be hosting an array of daily satellite tournaments, all of which can be found under the Events tab, located inside the Tournaments section of the Intertops Poker lobby. Once monthly, on November 20 and December 11 of 2011 and January 15 and Feburary 12 of 2012, Intertops Poker will hold finals at each of which prize packages worth $1,500 into Super 2012 will be awarded. Each prize package inclues the €300 + €40 buy-in into the main event as well as cash to assist with travel expenses and hotel accommodations.
Super 2012 will be played in two distinct portions. The first will occur between February 25 and 26, 2012 in Dublin, Ireland at the Citywest International Conference and Events Center, which is situated inside the Citywest Hotel complex. When the playing field has been whittled down to the final 8 players, competition will pause, to be resumed on March 31, 2012 at a secure spot where the final 8 will be flown to finish out the tournament. The action will be streamed over the web for people at home to watch live.
