October 28, 2016 (Press Release) – The third episode of Living the Dream: Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016, sponsored by Americas Cardroom (http://www.americascardroom.eu), is now online. The web video series is following players from the trusted US online poker room competing in the $500K Punta Cana Poker Classic. This episode features an interview with a young player from Missouri who won his way to the Caribbean in an online tournament at ACR and is thoroughly enjoying living the dream at the Caribbean poker tournament.
“I’ve never even been on a plane before, and I’ve only ever played poker online, so I sure was nervous coming down here,” Tyler told Living the Dream host, Larry Colcy (aka TheGamblogger). “But I’ve got 71,000 chips going into Day 2 so I’m feeling pretty good about now!”
Last year the winner of the tournament pocketed over $185,000 of the $500,000 prize pool. Like many players, Tyler has already thought about what he’ll do if he wins some money at the tournament.
“If I just place, that’s good enough for me. But if I win I guess I’ll buy some stuff for my car,” said Tyler. “Folks back home won’t be surprised to hear that! I guess I’d invest a lot of it – and set some aside to go to the WSOP and try my luck in Las Vegas!”
For a young guy who’s never even flown before, the trip to such a major poker tournament is a bit nerve-racking.
“I was pretty nervous at first. I was playing really tight. After a while I started opening up. My image made everyone think I must have something, so I was winning most of the pots.”

Americas Cardroom Players Off to a Great Start at the Punta Cana Poker Classic
October 27, 2016 (Press Release) – The second episode of Living the Dream: Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016, sponsored by Americas Cardroom (http://www.americascardroom.eu), is now online. The web video series follows players from the trusted US online poker room competing in the $500k Punta Cana Poker Classic. This episode features interviews with players on break during the Main Event Day 1a, who all agree that this year’s move from the Hard Rock to the Melia Caribe Tropical was a good idea.
“I never thought we could do better than the Hard Rock, but this place is really nice,” said Steven Schillenberg, who’s been playing this event for eight or nine years, since it began in Costa Rica.
“The competition’s great. Great players!” he said. “To win this, I’m going to have to get lucky on the river – at least twice. And more pocket aces would be good – get my money in, pre-flop.”
“I’ve been coming here for about seven years now. You can’t beat it!” said John Lets, another Americas Cardroom player who’s been coming to this event for many years. “The new game that they have, the Sit & Go 2.0, it’s actually really, really good. I’m really getting into it! I think the more you play it you’ll enjoy it even more.
“Living the Dream: Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016” videos are available only on the Americas Cardroom poker news blog (http://www.americascardroom.eu/blog).

Americas Cardroom is Living the Dream at the $500K Punta Cana Poker Classic
October 25, 2016 (Press Release) -- Americas Cardroom (http://www.americascardroom.eu) is sponsoring the next series of Living the Dream poker tournament videos. For his next big poker adventure, blogger Larry Colcy, aka TheGamblogger, will be taking his video camera to the Caribbean to join a group of Americas Cardroom online poker players at the $500K GTD Punta Cana Poker Classic.
“Living the Dream: Punta Cana 2016” videos will be available only on the Americas Cardroom blog (http://www.americascardroom.eu/blog) beginning October 27th. A preview article is now available at: https://www.americascardroom.eu/blog/2016/10/living-the-dream-at-the-punta-cana-poker-classic.
Living the Dream video series follow online poker players that have won their way to high stakes tournaments in exotic locations in Europe and the Caribbean. Previous series have been shot at the CPT Punta Cana, the TKPT St Maarten and CAPT Velden in Austria. More than 120 Americas Cardroom players have won their way to Punta Cana. Living the Dream videos will follow several of them over the four day tournament.
“It’s a huge leap from playing online to competing in a big money international tournament like this one,” said Colcy. “Some handle it well, some can’t take the pressure. Fortunately there’s lots of ways to unwind on a tropical island – and those often make for great videos!”
Twitch poker guru Doug Polk will be part of the ACR entourage and will be offering his take on the tournament in the videos. Faraz Jaka, the “Homeless Millionaire” will also be travelling with the group and featured in videos. Although his career earnings are over $8 million, Jaka spends so much time travelling to poker tournaments that he finally just gave up his home and earned his nickname after a CNN documentary on his unusual lifestyle.
“Not everyone can make it to major events like this one,” said ACR poker manager. “So we’re glad to be able to sponsor these videos and give everyone a taste of what it’s like out there on the poker tournament circuit.”

Four Online Champions on Their Way to $500K PPC Aruba with Intertops Poker & Juicy Stakes
October 18, 2016 — St. Johns, Antigua (Press Release) – Four players that won online satellite tournaments at Intertops Poker (http://poker.intertops.eu) and Juicy Stakes (http://www.juicystakes.eu) Poker are on their way to the Caribbean for the PPC Aruba World Championship.
One member of the team, Joan Sandoval, placed 6th in the $5000 GTD at PPC Aruba last year and is looking forward to playing the Main Event this year.
“I know a lot of my competition in Aruba, actually. I know it is going to be a tough crowd with a lot of good professional players” said Joan from her home in Wisconsin. “My strategy in any bigger tournament is to play one hand at a time and concentrate on just my table and not so much everyone around me. I like to just study the people and limit big pots in the beginning and try to play premium hands...try to get a solid image on the table so I can make my occasional bluff.”
Joan will be joined by Tim O’Keefe and John Curcuru, both professional poker players.
When he’s not grinding online at Intertops, Tim plays mostly in casinos in Texas where he lives and in nearby Oklahoma. He also travels to Foxwoods a few times a year. This is the third time that Tim, who only recently quit his day job and turned pro, has won his way to a major live tournament like this.
No stranger to the casinos of Las Vegas where he lives, this is the second Intertops/Juicy Stakes junket for John. Also an avid chess player, John joined the Intertops team at the TKPT tournament in St Maarten this spring.
“It’s great travelling with a group like this,” said John. “The camaraderie really helps you cope with the pressure of the tournament. Intertops took very good care of us last time so I’m really looking forward to joining them again!”
The fourth member of the team is Texas poker mom Ashley Hines. Ashley works with her father building luxury custom homes but hits the casino several times a week. PPC Aruba will be her fourth live tourney.
“I expect the players to be a smart, tight group, everyone hoping to make money and make a name for themselves. I think it’ll take massive determination and discipline. I always say it’s not the hands you, play but the folds you make that can make you a great player.”
All four online satellite tournament champions won $5000 prize packages that include $2,400 buy-in to the Main Event (November 4th – 7th) and accommodation on Palm Beach at the Hilton or Hyatt Resort. Their prize packages also include travel expenses, one $200 tournament buy-in and one $300 buy-in, as well as Intertops or Juicy Stakes gear and dinner and a night out with the Intertops/Juicy Stakes team.
The PPC Aruba World Championship is one of the most exotic stops on the Poker Players Championships circuit, now in its fourth season, which includes high stakes events all over America.
“We’ve taken players to a bunch of live tournaments like this,” said Intertops’ Poker Manager. “We picked this one because there will be lots of poker action, lots of opportunities to win some cash – but also lots of time to enjoy some fun in the sun!”
