In the past two or so weeks we have seen quite a few developments in the Caribbean. Poker professionals descended on the destination to try their hand at multiple competitions all backed by PartyPoker, one of the world\u2019s best-known card rooms. Apart from the great atmosphere and aptly-picked destination, however, it was reported that PartyPoker may struggle to cover some of the prizing money from buy-ins alone, prompting the card room to pay out of its own pocket.<\/p>\n
But this didn\u2019t mar the competition in the slightest, with professionals staying busy at the tables and kicking back with beach volleyball in the hours after. Filipe Oliveira<\/a>, one of the most upbeat contestants in the tournament, quickly distinguished himself at the crowning event, the $5,300 Main<\/strong>, outpacing a number of worthy opponents.<\/p>\n
\nAnd we have a winner! Congratulations to Filipe Gonzaga Oliveira on winning $1,500,000 and the title of champion at the #CPP2018<\/a> after coming back from 3 big blinds on the final table. Congratulations also to Craig Mason for his 2nd place finish and for winning $1,200,000. pic.twitter.com\/fEtj1guRNK<\/a><\/p>\n
