The marketing tournament will be designed in a heads up format- but also will be in Battleship style, meaning that players are seated in the same room, but play online poker on laptops.

It's an exciting game to play and I'm really looking forward to competing against these players.” The winner of the heads up match gets a trip to the Bahamas for the week long tourney, as well as a free seat in the main event. The following players have so far been selected to go up against Becker: Michel Dion (Quebec, Canada), Joshua Miloy (Oley, Pennsylvania, US), Itsik Oknin (Ottawa, Canada) and Keith Anderson (also Quebec, Canada.) Three more players will be selected to play, and 40 additional seats are available for events during the Caribbean Adventure, some with as low as a $650 buy-in.
