Soon the 2005 poker tournament season will be at an end, and in less than three weeks the 2006 poker tournament season will begin. One of the very first main events will be part of the World Poker Tour, set to take place in the Caribbean.
The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure begins January 4th and runs through January 11th, held at the famous Atlantis Resort and Casino. In attendance will be the last three world champions from the World Series of Poker, all three of whom owe a debt of gratitude to the event sponsor, Poker Stars.
