Ladbrokes Poker Cruise 2008

Below are a few images from the 2006 Ladbrokes Poker Cruise. In 2006 Rivered had 3 people on the cruise and one player in the Main Event. Stu lasted the first day in the main event, but unfortunately got busted on day 2 after being drawn on a very tough table to begin with.

The 2008 Ladbrokes Poker Cruise will take place on a boat similar to the one pictured below.
