Shuffle Up & Deal! Main Event Kicks Off
Monday, October 5, 2009 - Aruba Jonny
The normally tranquil island of Aruba is about a million times more energetic today thanks to the hundreds of players who qualified online for the 2009 Aruba Poker Classic and made their way down to paradise.
The Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa is jampacked with poker players, the biggest pros, celebrities, and even clowns. Yes clowns (more on that later).
But this is anything but a circus. The weeklong event is a well-organized, fine-tuned tournament hosted by tournament director Matt Savage and run by the biggest and best online poker site celebrating 10 years of dealing cards online. The first hand of the Main Event was dealt at Noon today and we’ll be keeping tabs on who got knocked out, who’s got the massive chip lead and who threw the biggest tantrum.
Stay tuned.
