Simon Trumper, who takes over the reins as the new ISPT tournament director, recently explained that the structure of the event will closely mirror that of the WSOP Main Event.

DTD co-founder Rob Yong commented, "Organising the Caribbean Poker Party in St Kitts has whetted our appetite for more adventures outside of our four walls. This partnership with ISPT is a great challenge for us and we wish to start its success by hosting the official launch party on Friday at The May Fair Hotel."

The invite-only party features DJ Antonio Vendone, Martini Glass Dancers, DTD girls, complimentary drinks, ISPT information point, special guests & show, not to mention a Who’s Who of the poker community.
