Whether by train, plane or automobile (more likely a fast powered speedboat out here, hopefully not pursued by the US DEA), but almost every player heading to the Caribbean for the 2007 CPC had hit the Island by Tuesday morning. Consequently the poker action was becoming hotter than the local Clam Chowder and William Hill players were more than holding their own.
Its catamaran time! Everyone boarded the bus and we made our way to the boarding area.
Docked near a shore to do a bit of snorkelling and fish watching (that just doesn't sound the right phrase). We were warned by the hosts not to 'touch, stand or lick the rocks, due to the presence of sea urchins'. Good advice, duly noted. Nat claimed she was busy looking after the William Hill Team to come snorkelling although a couple of people heard her asking the reps if there were any jellyfish or sharks present. There weren't. Ken didn't hesitate though, jumping in accompanied by a tight fitting yellow life vest...what a sight.
8am check in, It is busy already as the excitement builds to this years Caribbean Classic. Checked in rather smoothly. The chap sat at the currency exchange was rather less excited when he found out where we were headed 'I once worked for William Hill', he announced in a rather sad tone, 'tried to get into the hospitality department myself'. Mind you he had the last laugh when Ken's card declined . No poker for him this week then, shame.
Over the last few years, tournament poker has seen an almost meteoric rise in popularity, with no-limit Hold 'Em leading the charge. Almost everything seen on television is a no-limit Hold 'Em tournament - it is easy to forget that it is not the only game in town.
