The winner of an online satellite series last spring won a trip to the CPT St Maarten in May but didn’t do as well at the live tournament as he’d done online.

“I played OK, just not my day. On the bright side, I had a fantastic time in St Maarten before and after the tournament!” he wrote in the Living the Dream poker blog (http://live-dream-poker.blogspot.com) where online tournament winners share their live tournament experiences.
