Mexican Riviera/Poker World Cup
Tournament Results

Gallery 1 - Gallery 2 - Tournament

On the recenly concluded Poker World Cup at Sea, seven tournaments were held. Jack McClelland was the tournament director for each event and along with his wit, humor, and personal charm, the events went off without a hitch and smoothly as silk. Events ranged from $100 buy-ins to the championship event with a $500 entry. Many in our winners circle are faces you will recognize and many are not. Check them out, and when you see any of our champs in your local cardroom, be sure to congratulate him! These were some very tough fields to conquer.
