Welcome to Aruba!
This eighth annual installment of the Classic is being hosted at the Radisson Aruba Resort and Casino for the sixth year running. With a laid-back atmosphere permeating the tropical breeze in the air, this island paradise is a popular early-autumn tournament stop for many American Pros looking to extend their time in the sunshine a few extra weeks. The entire staffs of Team UltimateBet and Team AbsolutePoker are in the house, and they'll take to the felt alongside a whole host of online qualifiers over the course of these two Day 1 flights.
Play is scheduled to kick off at noon local time, just about 15 minutes from now. Sit tight, we'll be back with the 'shuffle up and deal' shortly.
