Living the Dream at the $500K Punta Cana Poker Classic with Americas Cardroom

One of the biggest Caribbean poker tournaments, the $500K Punta Cana Poker Classic, is about to begin in the Dominican Republic.  Larry Colcy, host of the Living the Dream poker video series, will be there with his video camera and microphone following a group of Americas Cardroom online poker players competing in the Main Event.  More than 120 Americas Cardroom players have won their way to Punta Cana.



“Living the Dream: Punta Cana 2016” videos are available only on the Americas Cardroom poker news blog (http://www.americascardroom.eu/blog) beginning October 27th. A preview article is now available at: https://www.americascardroom.eu/blog/2016/10/living-the-dream-at-the-punta-cana-poker-classic.

Previous Living the Dream video series have have joined online players at the CPT Punta Cana, the TKPT St Maarten and CAPT Velden in Austria.  Living the Dream videos will follow several of them over the four day tournament.

“It’s a huge leap from playing online to competing in a big money international tournament like this one,” said Colcy.  “Some handle it well, some can’t take the pressure. Fortunately there’s lots of ways to unwind on a tropical island – and those often make for great videos!”

Twitch poker guru Doug Polk will be part of the ACR entourage and will be offering his take on the tournament in the videos.  Faraz Jaka, the “Homeless Millionaire” will also be travelling with the group and featured in videos. Although his career earnings are over $8 million, Jaka spends so much time travelling to poker tournaments that he finally just gave up his home and earned his nickname after a CNN documentary on his unusual lifestyle.

Americas Cardroom is one of the largest and most popular US facing poker rooms. It's on the busy Winning Poker Network and welcomes players from America and around the world.
