Welcome to Aruba!

PokerNews welcomes you to the little latitudes down near the equator for our coverage of the 2009 UltimateBet Aruba Poker Classic!

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.
