After resting up from my last stop on the tournament trail at Hollywood Park Casino, I flew to almost indescribably beautiful Aruba. The first annual Caribbean Poker Classic was held at the Excelsior Casino, located at the Holiday Inn. Casino owner Mike Posner, an American who still lives in Chicago, and tournament host and organizer Bonnie Damiano were on hand to greet players and make everyone feel welcome. Tournament legend Jack McClelland was also present to make sure things ran smoothly. Two tournaments each day were on the menu, with the bigger buy-in event starting at 3 p.m. and the evening tournament starting at 8 p.m. Some extra pot-limit Omaha tournaments were thrown into the mix, so we had three tournaments from which to choose on some days. Noted pot-limit Omaha players such as David “Devilfish” Ulliott from England were in attendance, as well as Layne Flack, Fred Sigur, Don Barton, Tom Dye, Butch Wade, and former world champions Russ Hamilton, Mansour Matloubi, and yours truly.

Yes, this was an interesting conversation. When asked by Greta about the rumors that she is alive, Venezuela, Beth referred to the fact that Joran has gamling debts at all the casinos, an open line of credit, indicated that those 2 ideas go together. When Greta asked her what percentage probability would she give to the scenario that Natalee is still alive, Beth hesitated and then said I'm going that she's still alive. She had already made reference to the fact that there is no indication that she is on the island.

I'm glad they're coming out with this idea. I think a lot of us have been thinking along these lines for awhile, including me .... maybe it's just wishful thinking that she is alive out there somewhere, but obviously the HT's are holding out this hope also.

The Holiday Inn offers nightly shows and music. Or perhaps try your hand at the exciting Excelsior Casino located on property.
