SCHEDULE
An exciting and unique new event has been added to the preliminary
PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) schedule. ‘The Fish &
Chips Showdown at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure’ is a
two-day event, which takes place January 6-7, and combines sport
fishing and poker in a hybrid ‘Man vs Fish’ contest
of determination and skill.
The Fish & Chips Showdown is a truly unique tournament in which
participants’ performances in the fishing derby (day one)
will set the stage for card play at the poker tables on day two.

Chris Moneymaker set to play
Team PokerStars Pro and 2003 World Champion Chris Moneymaker is
ready to take on this challenge. He said: “I jumped at the
chance to play such an unusual and unique event. Most poker tournaments
take place indoors, which is fine, but I can’t imagine a better
way to enjoy paradise than to go fishing on the Caribbean Sea and
follow that with poker action at the tables.”
The participants of the Fish & Chips tournament can also look
forward to a private drinks reception at Atlantis on November 7.
Winners of the fishing and poker parts of the event will both be
crowned, along with an overall champion.
Players will set out fishing within a 50-mile radius of the Paradise
Island Marina, with all boats sailing out and returning for weigh-in
at the same time. The challenge then resumes at the poker tables
with players battling for the poker share of the Fish & Chips
Showdown. The overall champion will be determined by a ratio of
one-third fishing, two-thirds poker.
