It's Opening Day of the 2011 poker season ... and what place in the world to be than the lovely Bahamas, home of the Atlantis Resort.
Indeed, one of the biggest series on the poker calendar is also it's first - the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure (PCA).
And what a way to kickoff a season, with a 100k buy-in Super High Rollers event! Amazingly, 38 players registered for the event ... sadly, the event does not qualify as a PTPR Points event due to the 50-player minimum not being met ... however, this tournament is a who's who in the world of high stakes poker ... ok, some names are missing - most notably Dwan and Ivey - but still, an amazing amount of talent at the tables.
