Poker Stars Caribbean Adventure is where the two world of online and live poker collide. In 2009 out of the 1,347 players, 746 had qualified for the event online. It’s this online/live battle and the setting of the Bahamas that help make this tournament be considered as one of the majors in the poker calendar. Surprising though as it has only been around since May 2008. Its huge following is mainly due to being backed by Poker Stars poker and the amount of qualifying satellites they hold.

The 2009 tournament saw 1,053 players from around the world playing for a piece of the $4,045,350 prize pool. The first prize in the main event of $3 million was won by a 22 year old player who qualified online.  The 2010 event, which will start January 4^th till 14^th 2010, will see more than 50 events in 10 days. These include $1k, $2k and $5k tournaments as well as the famous main event.
