Extreme Poker

InterPoker is the pioneer of Extreme Poker. We’ve taken it upon ourselves to take our beloved game to new and exciting frontiers, no matter how bizarre!

The first in our series of extreme poker tournaments was held in St Kitts during the Caribbean Poker Classic 2005.

DWSOP 2005

InterPoker decided that it was time we found out who the greatest underwater poker player in the world was… and so the Deep Water Series of Poker was born!

The date was December 2005 and the place was the beautiful island of St Kitts in the Caribbean. The day started early at 8am where Poker Pros Kenna James, Juha Helppi, joined Poker Afficionado Andy Goetsch for some Scuba diving training from the friendliest divers on the island at Kenneth’s Dive Centre.

Then back to the Marriot Hotel for a quick bite to eat, and we were joined by InterPoker players Peter Marcus, and Louise Halle, along with Phil ‘The Unabomber’ Laak.

Then on to the Catamaran and out to the dive site to lower the table, cards, chips and players to 10m to play the world’s first Underwater Poker tournament.

Play was fast and furious, with players being eliminated if they ran out of chips, ran out of air, or had to surface.

Eventually InterPoker’s sponsored professional Juha Helppi emerged victorious from this unique poker event to claim the title of best underwater poker player in the world.
