This year's Women's Event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure was filled with fun players, interesting stories, and poker action at every turn. The tournament brought 66 players to the tables in the massive poker room set up for PCA players. That created a $66K prize pool, enough to pay out...more

Affif Prado is the PCA Main Event champion. No, scratch that, he's the mini Main Event champion. The Brazilian finished off his PCA with a solid $16,090 win in the $300 buy-in event that follows the same structure but plays with much shorter blind levels. Prado beat Englishman Ian Simpson...more

Brazilian Walter Oaquim scored a career best $32,480 win in the $2,150 turbo bounty beating Team PokerStars Pro Victor Ramdin heads-up. Among those in the money were Scott Baumstein (12th, $2,480), Pierre Neuville (9th, $2,740) and Steven Tripp (4th, $9,340), all of whom have cashed in other events. Tripp won...more

Ippei Nishiyama has capped off a fantastic birthday week here at the PCA. Yesterday Nishiyama turned 19 having been one of the most valued players in the World Cup of Poker representing Japan. He's topped that by winning the trophy and $24,970 in event #35: $1,100 NLHE six-handed. The 19-year-old,...more

You simply haven't been to a poker party until you've been to a PokerStars party. This is the 10th running of the PCA, and last night's party to celebrate was fitting of the occasion. I'm not saying we send cameras to these events to remind people what they might have...more

Vanessa Rousso seemed to be enjoying the Bahamas so much, she almost missed her plane. According to Jake Cody, the airline had to call her name five times before she made it to the plane. Certainly it couldn't have had anything to do with her DJing the PokerStars party last...more

You don't often see a nine-way deal at final tables and one presumes that this was a two-stage affair. Step one was the decision to pay nine rather than eight and then a second chop with four players remaining. After all negotiations were said and done Ross Ruby was the...more

It really shouldn't be any surprise that Marcel Luske is good at mixed games. Take a look at his Twitter feed some time @MarcelLuske - the guy's enigmatic to say the least. Luske, who won the Sunday Warm-Up a few weeks ago, told us that he's been working on his...more

This time last year David Bernstein was at the final table of the PCA Main Event where he finished seventh for $260,000. This year his final table was just perhaps a little less exciting and certainly less lucrative. Bernstein picked up $5,780 for his win in event #38: $300 turbo....more

Grant Levy may not be known well by the poker community at large but down under (that's in Australia) he's a pretty big deal. Levy won the APPT Sydney Main Event in 2007 for A$1,000,000 (around $875,000) and followed that up with the ANZPT Perth title in 2011 for A$131,500...more

Steven Kreinik booked a solid win in one of the PCA $300 nightly turbos to pick up a $17,835 first place prize and a big, shiny PCA trophy. Kreinik sped past a field which included PokerStars Team Online's Caio Pessagno and EPT final table finisher Ismael Bojang. PCA 2013 event...more

Joseph Stiers must have felt like that he needed some heads-up practice. Just a few days ago he made it to the final two in the Canada Cup against Danny Noseworthy with a four-to-one lead. He didn't manage to convert it to the win. This time round Stiers learnt his...more

Randy Lew loves a challenge. He's mad for them. Give him a record to break and he'll charge headlong at it smiling. Give him a suitcase to climb into and he'll clamber on into that bad boy risking asphyxiation and crippling social abuse. Last year he took a world record...more

The Women's Event at the 2013 PCA was exciting from start to finish. A starting field of 66 players was reduced to only six on the first day of play, and those finalists returned on Sunday, January 13, to play to the end. Initial chip counts of Day 2 were...more

Alexander Treimanis took the trophy and largest chunk of the cash in last night's $300 turbo beating Waldemar Fiala heads-up. Team PokerStars Pro Juan Manuel Pastor booked a fifth place finish... No, wait, it was Juan Martin Pastor from Argentina. PCA 2013 event #33 Date: 12 January Buy-in: $300 Game:...more

I'm not sure what day it was. This is not as unusual as one might suspect - ask any PokerStars staffer who has been at the PCA. You just go out and do what you need to do; the particular day of the week isn't relevant. And if you make...more

The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is winding down in its last days, and the Women's Event is in the midst of an exciting final table. Of a 66-player starting field on Saturday, the final table of nine was set late in the evening hours with the final eight players in the...more

It was quite the day here at the PCA, and the night got more exciting as the women neared the money, burst the bubble, and played for a bit before the clock told them to quit for the night. Event 31, better known to us as the PCA Women's Event,...more

British hedge fund manager Jeremy Wray has won himself a stunning Tag Heuer watch and a $215 TCOOP ticket for coming closest to guessing how many Stress Stars filled the giant tank outside the #PCA10 Players Lounge. There were more than 400 entries to the competition with players going to...more

There's no denying that Team PokerStars Online's Randy Lew has one hell of an appetite for the game. He's already set records for the most online hands played profitably in eight hours, and now he's back at it again. All this week at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) in The...more
