Atlantis with Pokerstars was Awesome
Written by RogerCP | Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
The pictures pretty much say it all. I can’t say thanks enough to Carly and Pokerstars affiliate team for inviting us down to Atlantis this year. It was an absolute AMAZING and relaxing time. You guys are the best.
There are so many pics I want to show so I’ll talk less and let the pics do the explaining
Probably the strangest thing to happen was Huck from Pokernews putting me up to pulling of a “Reverse Fan Boy” on Greg Raymer while we were eating at the Mesa Grill. We’ve got it on video but basically I had to trick Raymer and ended up giving him my autograph, he was pretty stunned at first but was a good sport about it. I’ll post the video once Huck from pokernews cleans it up.
The jet was pretty sick we flew on. You can’t beat pulling up, hopping on, hopping off and being in your hotel room in less than an hour and a half. Thanks again chipleader, it only took 2 years to begin using it, lol.
(Me chillin in the jet, highly doped up)
(Matt & I heading back home, tired as fuck from staying out all night (s)
(Matt, Me and Darko (His new nickname is 32red tho after his big hit on the roulette table)
(Kris from Poker.com the clear winner in the beershotgun. Contestants from left to right include Matt from Pokersavvy, Darko, Kris from Poker.com and Jasper from Pokerisivuit….others didn’t want to be shown or I might never get an invite again, ha)
(Carly from Pokerstars who made the whole event happen with Huck from PokerNews)
(The last day we got to play poker on the same table as Chris Moneymaker and Joseph Hachem and another pro which I can’t remember his name. I was like….second to bust, ha.)
(Classic Phil Ivey pose)
(Not a bad view from our room!)
There are so many more pictures I want to post but that’s it for now. It was good to meet all you guys who went down for the affiliate trip (Rebecca, Kris, Chris, Carly, Matt, Andreas, Fiona, Tyson, the Fins, Jasper, Tia, and others I can’t remember off the top of my head). I’ll get the Raymer video up soon hopefully. Thanks again Pokerstars, what a great trip and tournament to remember. Congrats to Pooray in winning $3 million for first place in the high roller tournament.

Now that you are over manginas fear of flying, you have no excuse to come visit or go to vegas with us. Im only asking one more time. Once I get some time off its on. Oh and you better keep up on your game, both on and off the course!

I’ll be going to Vegas mid year….you got the hookups for playing at TPC and the other courses right?
I could not play golf for a year, go out left handed, and still beat you! Maybe even with a broken leg too. Bring it….

If Nick is celebrating his birthday in Vegas, I damn well better get an invite. I have potential comps at Spearmint Rhino’s champagne room that Nick could put to use.

“I have potential comps at Spearmint Rhino’s champagne room that Nick could put to use.”
True story.
Looks like you had an awesome trip Roger.

Hazo – Me and Darko were thinking the same thing last week. It’s a great idea by PS.
