Luvin Poker is the latest online poker site that will be sending players to the next Punta Cana Poker Classic in the Dominican Republic, with a $500,000 guaranteed main event.
Following in the footsteps of sites like Bodog Poker and Doyle’s Room Poker, Luvin Poker is now holding Punta Cana Poker Classic satellite tournaments. These are organized in a Steps tournament series format, with players able to work their way up the steps from a daily freeroll costing nothing to buy-in to the bi-weekly Punta Cana Final at which the prize packages into the 2011 Punta Cana Poker Classic will be awarded. Steps tournament buy-ins range from nothing for the freeroll to $420 + $50 for the final.
The Luvin Poker Punta Cana Freeroll takes place five times daily and has an unlimited $0.10 rebuy and add-on. At each event, two seats will be awarded for Step 1 of the satellite series. Step 1 costs $3 + $0.30 to buy-in directly and has an unlimited rebuy and add-on of $3. It too takes place five times a day and awards one ticket into Step 2 of the series for every $17 in the pot. All the remaining step tournaments in the series are freezeout events with no rebuy or add-on. Step 2 costs $16 + $1 to buy-in, takes place 4 times daily and awards one seat in Step 3 for every $80 in the pot. Step 3 has a $75 + $5 direct buy-in, takes place twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and awards a seat in the final held every other Sunday for every $450 in the pot.
Luvin Poker’s prize packages for the 2011 Punta Cana Poker Classic are valued at $3,000. The Punta Cana Poker Classic 2011 takes place November 8 – 13, 2011.
