The Board issued a news release stating again that his priority is to pay the players.
Despite being the full wording of Poker-Red submerged in the maelstrom that is being EPT Barcelona, ​​where they are defending our colors with nails, teeth and 3 barrells, we echo through Subject: Poker, a new official statement from Full Tilt Poker in which the room is intended to explain in more detail its financial situation, their battle against the American government and how the facts have been developed from the famous Black Friday until today, in little more than a couple of paragraphs.

This is the statement that had to be translated.

As is apparent from the acontencimientos that have been coming out since April 15, Full Tilt Poker was not prepared for the magnitude of actions by the U.S. Government referring to Black Friday.

The events of Black Friday came after earlier government action and theft significant legal imperative. During the two years prior to Black Friday, the U.S. government had seized approximately $ 115 million fund player in American banks. While we believed to offer online poker P2P violated no federal law – a firmly held belief by many legal opinions – the Department of Justice took a different view. Moreover, as has been widely reported, a key payment processor stole approximately $ 42 million Full Tilt Poker. Until April 15, Full Tilt Poker had always covered these losses so that no player was affected in any case. Finally, in late 2010 and early 2011, Full Tilt Poker saw an unprecedented number of problems with some third party payment processors, which contributed greatly to their financial problems. While the company was in the process of solving such problems caused by these payment processors, Full Tilt Poker could never anticipate that the Justice Department would act as he did, confiscating our global dominance and closing access to our room and around the world.

During the last four months, Full Tilt Poker has been actively seeking opportunities with foreign investors in order to stabilize the company and pay our players. At least six of these groups, including hedge funds (hedge funds), Internet operators and individual investors have visited Dublin to inspect the operation. We recently hired an additional financial advisor through a investment banking group to help us in our pursuit of a monetary injection and a new steering group to restore our room and return the money to the players. Despite any agreement of this nature is necessarily complex given the current regulatory environment, our players should know that Full Tilt Poker is absolutely committed to refund your money in full and restore confidence in our operations.

After having broken his silence for a little over a week in this press release room adds no new information concerning the status of their negotiations with potential investors, leaving the community on edge waiting for an agreement is realized prior to September 15, date of hearing will be held with the regulator of Alderney.

However, there are three important aspects to highlight in this new release, which exudes a certain victimhood on the part of the room about the persecution they have received from the U.S. government.

First, explain that, since 2009, the U.S. government would have seized about $ 115 million from the funds of the players. The money would be on several accounts of the company, located in American banks, which, although not clear in the statement itself, seems to include the frozen funds on 15 April by the Department of Justice. Apparently, most of these funds have been seized as a penalty for the crimes charged, so hopefully not be unlocked.

Then listed six different groups of investors have traveled to Dublin, Pocket Kings Ltd location as part of the negotiation process for a future investment in the company. From Subject: Poker claim to know any four of these six groups, so consider this information is correct. The pessimistic note is that since the June 29 date on which Alderney gaming license suspended for Full Tilt and the room closed to the public. no evidence that any of these groups has returned to Dublin.

Finally, the statement appears to confirm rumors that, to reopen, Full Tilt would operate under a new management group. This seems to confirm the trend shown by the latest developments in the leadership of the company, which includes the waiver issued just ten days ago the director of marketing, Lothar Rentschler, and speculation leaving as CEO Ray Bitar, despite it has been denied by some sources.

In addition to this, in the statement referred to two important economic losses, complementing the company’s financial status: $ 42 million stolen by Daniel Tzvetkoff, head of the process of illegal payments to online gambling sites in the U.S.. UU., arrested in April last year and listed in the same case as the charges collected on Black Friday, and an undetermined amount relating to the income effect could not make through third parties (but who had appeared in the balance accounts of the players) Subject: Poker estimated at about $ 128 million, representing a considerable hole for Full Tilt, which confirms that it intends to cover these losses directly. The statement itself indicates that Full Tilt was in the process of recovering these funds from payment processors (without much success, it seems) until April 15, when the Justice Department blocked these actions.

Although the community is waiting for an apology or an admission of liability by Full Tilt your current situation, given the state of tension and unrest, it is unlikely that we read in the coming days such statements by the room, since any statement on that line could be used against them by the charges against them. All this is further evidence of the delicate situation in which the company is involved and how complex it can be an investment by a third party.

However, it seems we will see more releases of this style in the coming days.

Tomeu Gomila, as chip leader, Raul Mestre, Juan Manuel Perez and Dragan Kostic represent us in the final table of EPT poker unforgettable Spanish.

Raul Mestre symptoms did not think that slacking off yesterday and the Italian Massimiliano shortstack Martinez took off to another road from the Spanish. In two bad flops, Mikel Allende ‘Vegeta’ was left with 15 blinds.

Today the breakfast was luxury. Andrew Artiñano ‘Bedoyiya’, Jesus Cortes ‘desx2’ Tomeu Gomila ‘Amato’ and Raul Mestre ‘Sir_Donald’.

Four of the best players in Spain? Yes, of course. Do both chipleaders day 4 of the EPT Barcelona? The dream of a reporter and amateur like me. But the greatest of all: four Members of Poker-Red.

You could see the nervousness in Raul and Tomeu. The emotion.

Amatos began at the table prepared for television with Dragan Kostic, born in Serbia but living in Spain for twenty years, Javier Contreras ‘aricontre’ and the two most popular foreign alive in the tournament and Eugene Matthias de Meulder Katchalov.

Raul Mestre shared table with the winner of Project Spartan EducaPoker, José Miguel Esteban ‘jsn84’, Mark Fernandez and Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’ Galician.

The eighth Spanish, Mikel Allende ‘Vegeta’ defending our honor alone in the third and final table standing.

And things were good. The first blood shed it took Tomeu Gomila, which eliminated a shortstack. Raul Mestre symptoms did not think that slacking off yesterday and the Italian Massimiliano shortstack Martinez took off to another road from the Spanish. In two bad flops, Mikel Allende ‘Vegeta’ was left with 15 blinds.

The best part of the initial level was Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’, which as Tomeu Gomila, saw its stack greatly. In contrast, Javier Contreras and Mark Fernandez became the short stacks in the tournament.

The following was also eliminated a shortstack abroad. There were 21 when two Spanish put their stack in play at once. Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’ bent and still a huge comeback. Mikel Allende ‘Vegeta’ A7S was dominated with AK against. Did not improve, it was very, very short and it took two hands to be eliminated in 20 th position. His reward was 20,000 euros.

‘Kid’ to remove a short, several clashes occurred preflop, always involved in foreign hands and we got a little break for the remaining 16 players were divided into two tables.

There were 7 Spanish. Almost half! We had Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’ on the break for our live streaming.

Our players were in need of points Marcos Fernández and Javier Contreras ‘aricontre’. Mark was bent, but Javier Contreras that the river could not bring him one of the 14 letters he was worth and eliminated with AK against JJ. 14 th place for the Sunday Million winner, awarded with 29,000 euros.

José Miguel Esteban Massimiliano lost a flip against Martinez and got into trouble. Marcos Rodriguez could not win a major showdown and stayed with 10 blinds. It seemed that luck was beginning to give us back.

Tomeu Gomila completely dominated the table and had doubled since its initial stack. Reaching the 5 million points. Dragan Kostic could double up and up to 1,600,000. On the table outside, the clashes between Mestre, Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’ and José Miguel Esteban, left EducaPoker touched the student.

The following was eliminated, however, Marcos Fernandez, in thirteenth place. He lost a flip and also took home 29,000 euros.

In the table, and Dragan Kostic Amatos, establishing a dangerous dynamic. Always looking up Amatos button Kostic, who paid with joy when she position. Behind them, Matthias de Meulder saw a unique opportunity to re-raise, and when he fell somewhat short of chips, the climb was allin. At the other table, Massimiliano Martinez was also decided that 25 blind and their movement at this stage would rerrobo.

Is brewing a historic moment for the Spanish poker. Glorious half hour will be remembered for many years.

Massimiliano Martinez decided to push his stack against first hand that opened the French Isabel Clemente. As expected, both had a strong hand. Jacks could not overcome the Italian ladies of the French and was eliminated in 12th place.

With the excitement still high because of the significance of this deletion for our interests, was Amatos Czuczor call to Marton, who was the shortstack at the table. The flop paired Tomeu J KJ got Gomila and managed to hold out until the showdown ahead of AT Hungarian.

And they were 10. For a minute. On the next hand the button is before Kostic. You can already imagine the development of the hand. Open Amatos there call for Kostic and Belgium goes allin. Tomeu decided that enough was enough and pushed his stack into the center of the table. Dragan taught folds and cards. Belgian TA PokerStars pro and … K7 ‘Amato’. It was a very serious notice of Mallorca. So serious that it threatened the survival of the Belgian in the tournament. A harmless flop, a turn and a river inconsequential … a river of dreams: K of spades. The game room was bursting with joy and gave vent to the emotion that had accumulated over the last three hands.

There were 9 players and 5 Spanish. Amazing, but very true.

The final table bubble, if we go by bubble prizes, promised to have two protagonists clear: Raul Mestre and Tomeu Gomila.

Not the least bit disappointed. Katchalov, who had studied a little at breakfast, it was soon to be hit by Amatos shortstack at the table, coinciding with a boat that won José Miguel Esteban, and gets involved with Mestre Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’ in a 3bet pot that was the first.

It was clear that the only disposal option to see if a shortstack was trying rerrobar opened a boat or going directly allin. Anything else should wait for the approval of the two most aggressive players at the table.

And unfortunately for us, the last day was removed from José Miguel Esteban, ‘jsn84’. AT and was opened on Martin Schleich German call with AJ. The flop, 595, gave us hope, at least split the pot, but no luck. Well-deserved prize of 50,000 € for the student EducaPoker.

At the end, four Spanish defend the Navy in the final table of EPT Barcelona: Dragan Kostic, Raul Mestre, Juan Manuel Perez ‘Kid’ and Tomeu Gomila ‘Amato’, the chip leader.
This is the official chipcount the 8 finalists.

1. Tomeu Gomila 6,985,000
   2. Saar Wilf 4,555,000
   3. Raul Mestre 4,260,000
   4. Isabel Clemente 2,270,000

The German is the title and the 850,000 after defeating Dragan Kostic in the Heads-up play. Four Spanish at the final table and the title again to escape.
Another year and could not be. This time we were closer than ever and the expectations were huge. Two national figures such as Raul Mestre “Professor” and Tomeu Gomila “Love” with José Manuel Pérez “Kid” and Dragan Kostic began the assault on a final table that seemed to have a clear color rojigualda.

However, once again, the dream ended up evaporating.

The first run of the day could not have another player. Tomeu Gomila ‘Amato’ began the final table with the direct implementation and with the aim of opening many hands. The Israeli Wilf, with Raul Mestre and position on Tomeu, called to see a flop Kxx, who took bets showdown after three Israeli, who had a pair of aces. Tomeu paid the three streets with JJ, losing two million chips on the way.

Eugene Katchalov, the shortstack at the table, opened from UTG putting all his chips. Received the call in middle position of Israel, which to everyone’s surprise, he taught Q9. AQ had the Ukrainian, who was bent.

The first player to be eliminated at the final table was the only woman, the Portuguese Isabel Clemente. With a style extremely tight, not expecting to see his championship in less danger of ladies. He found aces Katchalov, you delete it. The award was € 73,000.

There were 7 and Mestre and Wilf shared chip lead, with amethyst nearby. They were more than double the shortstack was fourth and Juan Manuel ‘Kid’.

‘Amato’ took over from the time of collecting cards, and Spanish was inevitable with 4 in the table, fratricide was the first game of the night. The strategy of ‘Kid’ all night had been to rerrobar players more aggressive and eventually found himself in a flip. Amatos did call with a new push tens of ‘Kid’, who taught AQ.

Juan Manuel Perez was eliminated in 6th place with a deserved reward of 105,000 €.

In all the final tables, when you see them from a distance and analyze it, try to find a hand that changes the dynamics, or the showdown determines who will star in the game. In this case, a single hand completely changed the story of what could be a dream EPT.

Tomeu Gomila ‘Amato’ decided to face a 3bet of Katchalov, which had doubled, with a hand like A4. The Ukrainian had AJ. The flop brought a 4 and the cries were heard on the Ramblas. Amato was with 10 million chips, which amounted to a 150BB.

The river was the J and definitely left Katchalov shortstack condition. And they survive in the tournament.

J That became the most important card of the tournament.

The following big pot, Katchalov, who was in a letter of farewell from the tournament, bent over Raul Mestre. In a 3bet pot, and a KT33 board, Raul beteaba Katchalov small you raise half of their chips. Raul decided to reraise and play for stacks. Katchalov had AK and Raul AT. Top pair against second pair.

Katchalov, and tabbed, I decided to claim their share of hands to open and Tomeu Gomila reraised him. Following the call of the Ukrainian Tomeu bet the pot on a flop KJ3. The Ukrainian reraised to 2 million and Tomeu fold. Katchalov chipleader is placed and the Spanish finally lost the opportunity to stoke the table as they had done in the bubble. There was no hurry short stacks of chips and Katchalov had taken a step forward.

I opened from middle position and Schleich Mestre, who was at three million and only covered the stack of German, I Push with KTs. The German ladies and left tocadísimo taught to Mestre.

Raul doubled with AK against Katchalov A5, after two All-in they found no response from the blinds and we went with a better taste to the dinner.

On the first hand after dinner, the Israeli Saar Wilf lost half his stack, making a call to a 3bet from German Martin Schleich, who had now earned the title of most conservative player table. The flop was AQT and the two players went. The turn was a 5 and finally the German betting. Call of Israel, a move that inexplicable, over one million bet on the river, which doubled the 5. Schleich Martin did call with AK and won a huge pot to A3.

To cap his sacrifice, Saar Wilf decided to pay the bigstack rerrobo, Eugene Katchalov, which made him all-in. A2 seemed enough, and despite Katchalov’s hand belonged to the lowest rank, was in very poor condition compared to 33.

Saar Wilf went out in fifth place and earned € 145,000.

The three Spanish survivors were the three players with fewer chips.

The German had the day Schleich face. Tomeu Gomila preflop with AK envy to a 3bet from the German. Of the few who did. Schleich had ladies.

Tomeu Gomila ‘Amato’ lost the flip and went out in fifth place. The Poker-Red forero received € 185,000 as a consolation, which will surely know little.

The next confrontation between the Spanish took care to let another of our very touched. And not one either. Another Poker-Red Forero EducaPoker professor. Raul Mestre made his third consecutive squeeze button Dragan Kostic, who this time made the call with 77. K9 was Raúl and the flip side fell Dragan.

With just 6 blind, Mestre miraculously managed to steal two hands, but the third, with QT Katchalov stood up to the squeeze of Valencian. Raul was ahead on the flop. A5 sent its still in a J88 flop. On 9 full-shift ladder to the Ukrainian and, in just two hands, the Navy lost to earlier in the day that seemed to her two best assets.

Raul Mestre fell into fourth place and earned € 244,000.

The three survivors, Dragan Kostic Spanish, Eugene Katchalov and Martin Schleich began the last phase of the tournament with a huge passive until the next break. Dragan seemed to choose better boats to attack and managed to pull himself into the lead briefly.

After the break, the German took down a little. His racanería when punishing his hands open the blinds now skyrocketed.

We had 13 hours of tournament and seemed to Martin Schleich was to be the next to fall, but again another player, in this case Dragan Kostic, allowed a pot preflop fat that their range was too narrow. Schleich bet the flop of low cards, 468, did not seem too upset Dragan. After the turn, the line adopted by the German was the check-raise allin. Dragan laid the foundation stone for the comeback of the German betting and the second folded around to push.

Now was the Spanish who looked away from his rivals. The first time the night he bet all three streets gave air. Eugene Katchalov was thrown into the river and put himself in the disparadero.

The stack returned to Eugene Katchalov balance when bent against Martin Schleich. Trasa guanta a bet on a flop A86, all the tiles from Ukraine arrived at half after the turn, had given women and eight doubles.

And we returned to the stage of passivity, open to love and defend at least without resistance postflop. And that the German had always lose. Drew attention to all the speed with which left hand. Any kind of hesitation or drama.

Again, Schleich had to be put at risk. And this time it seemed final. A5 was all that could be taught to the AQ Kostic, who gladly accepted the German push.

We were going to have a HU with a Spanish actor and much advantage in chips. If not for the damn river. The Spanish were lucky enough to back all night.

Finally, the players decided to open wide ranges in position and accelerated the pace of the final. After four hours of game three-way hand there was found which would determine the final Heads Up.

Schleich Eugene Katchalov removed with 99 to 77. The PokerStars pro earned € 315,000.

Dragan Kostic was confirmed as the Spanish representative had come furthest in an EPT, matching the second position of Jesus Cortes ‘desx2’ last year in Madrid.

And he could still improve it. Winning the EPT.

Faced the face to face at a disadvantage, but took advantage of the passivity of the German proverbial ream field.

The key hand of the confrontation began with a raise of Dragan Kostic who answered the German with a 4bet. Dragan decided to call.

Schleich got a quarter of his stack in a coordinated flop 589. Dragan surprised everyone by calling. First turn the ace of the German put All-in Spanish and Dragan folds to the astonishment of all.

The advantage of German, three to one, proved insurmountable. Dragan rerrobó both hands until the German ace and he received a call. Dragan also had an ace. Commanded the German kicker, 9 to 7.

To expand. There was no miracle.

Dragan Kostic was eliminated in second place and became the largest creditor prize money received by a Spanish in an EPT € 532,000.

Martin Schleich became champion of the EPT Barcelona 2011. The first prize was a budget of 850,000 €. And it was for Germany. It stayed at home.

The audience, already postponed on July 26, will resume at 09:00 on 19 September at the Riverbank Plaza Hotel London.
On 26 July the Commission for the Alderney Gambling Control (AGCC) accepted the request for postponement of the attorneys for Full Tilt Poker (FTP) on the reactivation of a suspended license last June. In the official statement did not indicate new date, but put a deadline to meet on 15 September.

The new postponement announced by the web egrmagazine arises after the resumption of official communications from the courtroom by means of two statements, driven by Jeff Ifrah attorney, representative of FTP and Ray Bitar court on several fronts.

These statements, the first of which deals with precisely the reasons that there was an official silence about two months and the second, explaining the difficulties that have prevented the payment of money claimed by the players of the site supposed to be followed by two new statements: one on deposits credited but not paid thousands of Americans and other players on the accounts frozen by the Justice Department.

The new information contained in the last announcement can be summarized in four points:

* Figure the amount frozen by the U.S. government $ 115 million.
    * He says that the number of investors interested in buying FTP is six.
    * Confirm that in case of reopening, FTP will have new management team.
    * It has hired a new financial advisor to get an injection of fluid into the group’s companies.

The attorney Jeff Ifrah, in contact with the gaming community through email and phone, says that of these six groups of investors, three still have open discussions about buying the company.

Ifrah, on the other hand, has also been featured in the news about FTP request removal as defense attorney for eight players and several companies of the group in the class action lawsuit filed on June 30 by four American players.

Ifrah and his associate, David Deitch, filed a motion argued as follows:

Continue representing our client would create an insurmountable difficulty to carry out our work and would result in an unsustainable financial burden for our firm.

The reason seems to be the probable introduction of new and refurbished motions by the plaintiffs, who multiplied the workload and expenses that should be imposed on lawyers.

The firm will continue to represent FTP Ifrah and Ray Bitar on other fronts, this measure is not intended in principle to fully disengage them.

The championship will last 23 days and includes a total of 62 tournaments. Sunday already played the first three.
Sunday September 4 WCOOP have started 2011 with the celebration of the first three events.

PokerStars has planned a calendar of events short, in principle, $ 30 million in prize money guaranteed only by the room itself.

The past year has reached $ 62 million in prize money, but it remains to see how they affect the events of last April, known as Black Friday Poker, the number of players which will outline the various tournaments.

Looking at the first tournament, it does seem that many players who can not play from his residence in the U.S. have decided to hasten their departure to participate in the WCOOP. Daniel Negreanu has announced at the time that would move to Canada after their participation in the World Series to play the WCOOP.

The third in Event # 2 of the WCOOP, the $ 10,300 High Roller No Limit Hold ’em, Kevin McPhee’ ImaLuckSac ‘is one of these emigrants. He has participated from Vancouver, Canada.

The full results of the first 3 tournaments will not be known until today, because the WCOOP WCOOP # 1 and # 3 are two-day event. Several Spanish still alive in this tournament, already well advanced.

Of the 16 events contested parallel, ours won 4 and had outstanding performances in several others.
The EPT will be very difficult to forget. The intense emotion with which he lived the final table, with four Spanish representatives, was the culmination of a week of vertigo where our proved able to start well in an international competition.

The EPT is not only the main event, which airs on televison. The calendar consisted of 17 tournaments and 3 supersatélites the main peritoneum.

The Spanish representation in the parallel was so bright, or more, which in the main event.

The first stone to a great week put Ruben Velasco ‘Tamer’ since day one. Imposed on the EUR 330 turbo tournament and received a prize of € 16,350.

In one of the € 430-turbo tournaments, with first place worth € 15,750 (100 € were bounty, prize for the player you eliminate), the winner was local Haykel Vidal ‘vidal14’, which enjoyed support of several friends on the rail, both in parallel and during their participation in the main event. In EPT, also had the opportunity to be part of one of the first TV table alignments serves as the basis for the publication of the EPT television.

He also played a heads-up tournament. Guillermo Garcia attended ‘Jakivi’, Andrew Artiñano ‘Bedoyiya’ and Jesus Cortes ‘desx2’. ‘Jakivi’ managed to win the final victory against a young Turk living in Germany, the protagonist of the story of the tournament.

The Poker-Red team were having dinner when we saw this guy come with a patch of EducaPoker. It was strange that he knew, but I remembered his shirt, which was white with black tips of the neck, quite unusual. He had been confronted with ‘Bedoyiya’, so I went to ask if the guy was Spanish.

‘Bedoyiya’, after eliminating Melanie Weisner, who faced the final series, achieving a significant advantage. With all in favor to go round, its jacks failed to win the Turkish tens and ended up losing. EducaPoker patch off of his chest and gave it to Turkey and said:

I’ve deleted. He wears the patch as a token of your victory.

The Turk took it to heart (pun intended) and we saw him playing the heads-up play against ‘Jakivi’ EducaPoker the patch on his shirt. In the end, the young Valencian impose and achieve a fantastic prize of 43,200 €.

Elena Contreras won the Ladies Event, the tournament exclusively for women whose first prize was endowed with 3,400 €.

And to top off an excellent run, Juan Maceiras Jr., PokerStars pro, won the Pot Limit Omaha tournament for € 500 rebuy. Cost the substantial sum of € 37,800 after two days of work at the tables.

There were also several representatives at final tables being most outstanding performance of the FC Barcelona player Gerard Pique, who took the media attention for her performance in the tournament 6-max of € 5,000, which finished third with a prize of € 40,950.

The player caught the attention of the media and on talk shows, is serving as an excuse to dig up old topics of gambling and gambling dens and criticizing the “poor example” of Catalan. What a country.

The winner of the first U.S. stop of the WPT season took home a prize of $ 758,085
The tenth season of World Poker Tour debuted in the United States after the events in Barcelona and Slovenia. The headquarters of the Legends of Poker tournament was the famous Casino Bycicle of Los Angeles, ‘The Bike’.

757 participants gathered at the California casino, with an enrollment of 3,700 USD.

The final table consisted of what would be the winner, Emanuel Failla, winner of a WSOP bracelet, Owais Ahmed and Ken Aldridge and three players who participated for the first time in a WPT: Jeff Vertes, Joshua and Adam Pollock Aronson.

Failla entered the final table as chip leader and soon earned the first victim. In war blind, Owais bet your entire stack face with J7 and Fail calls with A5. Two aces on the table to shake his hand ‘The Thrill’.

Adam Araonson, a California amateur Jeff was eliminated by Vertes. The hand is very expensive to put Aronson to click on a set of six on the flop, but not enough to break the aces Vertes, which completed final color of the hand.

Ken ‘Teach’ Aldridge will take the lead from Will Failla, who was slowly losing chips after winning a hand in which Joshua Pollock put the tournament into play on the flop with a flush and failed to improve to beat the top pair of Aldridge.

From that moment, it seems that Lady Luck chose a favorite. A few lucky hands folded looking Fail changed the sign of the end. The penultimate stroke of luck was the removal of Jeff Vertes, which was all in with AQ and lost to AJ Will Failla. Already in the heads-up play, Failla was an All-in preflop against aces and tied flush on the river. Thanks to his hand, took advantage of seven to one and only had to finish the job as soon as possible All-in putting his rival in every hand.

It is the second major victory of ‘Will the Thrill’. His other tournament cash came in a parallel PCA Bahamas, where he won nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
