If you need a couple of bucks in your account to play, you might actually be in luck. Whether you are new to the room or not, everyone gets a 100% deposit bonus of up to $500 if you make the deposit between Noon EST on Tuesday, March 14th and Noon EST on Tuesday, March 21st. That's a remarkably generous offer, so I'm remarking about it.

The tournament takes place aboard a cruise ship that makes its way through the caribbean sea, stopping at Ocho Rios Jamaica and Geore Town in the Caymans. The estimated prize pool for the tournament is $5,000,000.
Of course poker is not the only game aboard the ship, with a blackjack and slots tournament scheduled as well.
