PokerStars' Caribbean Poker Adventure - Season
2 - Jan 25, 2004
The first stop for the World Poker Tour in 2003 started off
with a bang at the PokerStars’ Caribbean Poker Adventure.
Held January 18th- 25th the event featured some great players
at the final table for the $7,500 buy-in event.
Daniel
Negreanu, Gus
Hansen, John D’agositno and Hoyt Corkins were the
well known pros at the table that also featured amateurs Michael
Benedetto and Remco Schrijvers. Hanson drew first blood eliminating
Schrijvers, then D’agostino and Benedetto leaving the
three most well known pros. After battling for a while Corkins
busted Negreanu leaving the Alabama Cowboy and the Great Dane
to the heads up match.
In the final hand Hanson won in his signature style with
7-3 offsuit when he made a full house on the river. Beating
out 221 other players Gus took home $455,780. This was his
third World Poker Tour title.
