    Caribbean Sun Poker is holding a tournament January 22, 2006, with a guaranteed $500,000 prize pool. They're also guaranteeing the event will be an overlay... If at least 1000 players participate, finalists will also win a seat in the European Poker Tour Deauville event.

    If there are fewer than 1000 players, the event is an overlay because of the guaranteed half million dollar prize pool.

    Direct entry into the event is a $500+$30 entry fee, but they are running satellites for smaller entry fees all the time.

    For example, four times a day they are running an $11+$1 satellite. From there, you win (or can pay to enter) a $70+$7 twice-a-week satellite that awards seats for the January Half-Million.

    Caribbean Sun Poker is run by Peak Entertainment, the same group that operates Sands of the Caribbean and Omni casinos. They've been long-time sponsors of my main site BlackjackInfo.com, and they're a top-notch online casino group.
     
  2. Which Cryptologic Casino(s) do you suggest?

    It seems that you can play in this tournament from any of the Cryptologic group of casinos. I've seen you say good things about Intercasino/Interpoker in the past. I guess I'm surprised that you didn't mention it in conjunction with your post about the Half Million Tournament. I don't currently have an account at any casinos in the Cryptologic group, and was wondering if you thought that Interpoker might be a better place to set up an account than Carribean Sun if one were interested in this tournament?
    Any experiences (good or bad) with other casinos in this group?

    Ah, I should have researched that option. I wasn't sure whether this was system-wide for Cryptologic, but it makes sense. Interpoker would certainly be a fine place to open an account and play this event. I'm pretty sure that each of these Cryptologic poker sites is just a gateway into the same poker room anyway.

    The goods news is with Cryptologic, you don't have to worry about good or bad casinos or poker rooms. They're all good.
