Swim in an ocean. And in a pool of money.

Last year’s Aruba Poker Classic Main Event prize pool totaled $2,755,000. That’s just south of $3 million for those of you who aren’t too good with zeroes. Matt Brady took home a million bucks in cash for crushing the Main Event.

And that’s on top of all the other cash that was at stake in our $2,000+100 2-day No Limit Hold’em tourney, our popular $1,000+60 tournament and ongoing Sit and Go tourneys.

This year, we’re expecting over 550 players in the Main Event. At $5,500 per seat, that’s a lot of coin.
