One of the most exotic live poker tournaments in a year is the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. The event will be held where it is held since 2005, the luxurious Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Michael Ward, Tournament Director for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure stated in the original press release:
“The PCA is truly a poker player’s paradise. Each January, thousands of players descend upon Atlantis to take part in the first major tournament of the year. Last year’s event produced over $24 million in total prize money and, without a doubt, the PCA 2011 is going to be richer than ever. The PCA is a must-play event for both the recreational and the professional player.”

Next year's tournament will run from January 5th to 16th, featuring more than 50 tournaments including a $100,000 Super High Roller tournament, a $25,000 High Roller tournament, a $10,000 Turbo Six-Max contest, and the $10,300 Main Event. Not only Texas Hold'em will be played here, you will find Pot Limit Omaha, Pot Limit Omaha Eight or Better, HOE, Fiple Draw (A-5, 2-7, Badugi, Baduci, and Badacey), Eight Game, Stud Eight or Better, and Chinese Poker as well. The Main Event will start on January 8th, and will have the winner six days later, who will earn a huge amount of money, thanks to the $10,300 buy-in. Last year's winner, Harrison Gimbel has won a handsome $2,000,000.
