Game Show Network to air PokerStars Caribbean Adventure

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is the latest poker tournament to find its way on to television.

The Game Show Network recently announced that it would be airing the tournament from the Bahamas in late May or early June. The tournament, held in the Bahamas, is running from January 5-10.

Bertrand “ElKy” Grospellier won last year’s tournament and took home $2 million out of a prize pool of $8.6 million. This year, the buy-in for the event is $10,000, and the prize pool is expected to grow, according to pokerpages.com:

In addition to the main event, a $25,000 High Rollers event is on tap, as well as a Battleship Event, where players sub laptops and PokerStars SNGs for cards, chips and felt. The back-to-back positioning of the laptops left them no choice but to look to the Battleship boardgame for the event name.

For those looking to tighten up their game, Team PokerStars Pros Greg Raymer, Daniel Negreanu, Chris Moneymaker and Vanessa Rousso will be dropping knowledge to those in the PokerStars Poker Camp. The packages, valued at $4,500, consist of four nights at the Atlantis, $1,500 for food and fun, three days camp instruction, and entry into a campers only event.

Whole thing here.
