WPT TAKES TO THE WATER
The ninth World Poker Tour cruise takes to the seas in September as the beautiful Mediterranean is the stunning setting for the poker action as players board the Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas.
The WPT Cruise is a luxurious way to play poker, with seven days and seven nights onboard with VTony Dunst and Lynn Gilmartin including freerolls, a Ladies event, and two exclusive Welcome and Farewell receptions with photo and autograph sessions among a host of other entertainments and poker events during the trip.
Everyone is excited about cruising around the Med, not least two members of the WPT team.
Lynn Gilmartin can tell you what to expect on this once in a lifetime experience:
From players to the presenting team, everyone can’t wait for the ship to set sail, including Royal Flush Crew member Ivy Teves:
