GamblingDaily.com will be publishing daily video reports from the CPT Punta Cana tournament next week, following five online satellite tournament winners that won their way to the Caribbean at Intertops Poker or Juicy Stakes Poker. In this first video episode of our Living the Dream series, organizer Leon Groenewoud talks about what we can expect at the tournament and speculates on how the five online champions will do at the live tournament.
The five online tournament champions that have won their way to the Caribbean are: 32 year old Austrian poker pro, Daniel Montagnolli; Neil Slade, a builder and recreational poker player from Hampshire UK; Derek Scallon, a Chicago poker pro and film producer, Steven Loney, a businessman who plays poker for fun, and Phil Cardella, a Pittsburgh CAD designer and purely recreational player. The primarily online players are also sharing their experience at the live poker tournament on the Living the Dream poker player blog.
“I’m really looking forward to joining the players in Punta Cana,” said Larry Colcy, aka The Gamblogger, who will be producing daily video reports from the Hard Rock Casino Punta Cana. “I’ll have tournament results as well as interviews with the Living the Dream players and other players at the tournament. I’ll also follow them around with my video camera as they enjoy the resort!”
CPT Punta Cana will be at the luxurious five-star Punta Cana Hard Rock Casino and Hotel November 3rd to 8th. Last November, American poker pro Ari Engel defeated a field of 507 to claim the trophy and $177,045 for his victory in the 2014 Punta Cana Poker Classic. Cheap, direct flights from North America as well as the mix of amateur and pros make the CPT Punta Cana an event not to be missed.
GamblingDaily.com will have Living the Dream TV, Episode 2 (Team Arrives in Punta Cana) on November 4th.
