PokerStars Caribbean Adventure

 

The tiny Caribbean nation of the Bahamas is officially* part of the European continent and has celebrated that fact by hosting the PokerStars.com European Poker Tour's PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. After six days of scintillating play in the European tradition the tournament is over, with PokerStars pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier fittingly taking the title and the $2 million first prize. Congratulations to ElkY and to PokerStars, and also to the entire continent of Europe for stealing such a sweet vacation spot away from the Americas!
