The full version of the third episode of Living the Dream: Punta Cana Poker Classic 2016 is now online (our short video shows highlights). It features an interview with a young player from Missouri named Tyler who won his way to the Caribbean in an online tournament at ACR. Tyler has never been to a live tournament and is thoroughly enjoying living the dream at the Caribbean poker tournament.
"I’ve never even been on a plane before, and I've only ever played poker online, so I sure was nervous coming down here," Tyler told Living the Dream host, Larry Colcy (aka TheGamblogger). "But I’ve got 71,000 chips going into Day 2 so I'm feeling pretty good about now!"
"If I just place, that’s good enough for me. But if I win I guess I'll buy some stuff for my car," said Tyler. "Folks back home won't be surprised to hear that! I guess I'd invest a lot of it – and set some aside to go to the WSOP and try my luck in Las Vegas!"
For a young guy who's never even flown before, the trip to such a major poker tournament is a bit nerve-racking.
"I was pretty nervous at first. I was playing really tight. After a while I started opening up. My image made everyone think I must have something, so I was winning most of the pots."
