Best All Around Player

The Golden Cup Series of Poker Leader Board will decide who earns that Best All Around Player award and also who wins the coveted Golden Cup. Along with the cup, the first place finisher will walk away with a $10,000 Caribbean Poker Classic Main Event Package and $5,000 in cash.

If you don't finish first, however, don't worry. The top 4 finishers will be paid a combined $15,000 in prizes.
