PokerNews.com is pleased to announce that we sent Tino Lechich as PokerNews' representative to the PartyGammon Millions in the Bahamas. Tino will be sending a number of trip reports on the event. Tino won his trip courtesy of Party Poker. Here is his first trip report:
Having traveled the best part of twenty four hours to reach the Bahamas, its wonderful to be here thanks to PokerNews and Party Poker. The Atlantis resort on Paradise Island has evolved enormously since I was first here 22 years ago, coincidently at another backgammon event. The Paradise Island Resort is adjacent to the world famous OCEAN CLUB recently featured in the latest James Bond movie. The welcome reception on the pool deck was fabulous and was attended by a who's who of the backgammon world. Respected backgammon authors such as Bill Robertie (co-author of the Harrington on Hold'em poker series as well as backgammon author for this site), Paul Magriel (rumored to be collaborating with Gus Hansen on a poker book!), Bob Wachtel (who's end game backgammon book gave the 'Tino road prop' a mention). Former world champs such as Mike Svobodny, Peter Jes Thomsen, Jorgen Granstedt, Katie Scalamandre, Mads Andersen, Frank Frigo, Philip Vischjager and Peter Hallberg are all attending. In addition, long time masters of the game like Mike Senkiewicz, Mike Corbett, Nack Ballard, Kent Goulding, Gino Calamandre and our tournament director Howard Markowitz will make this event hotly contested. A little doubles warm up was played later in the evening and tomorrow the main draw stars with the 1st round at 130pm ED Note: Are you skilled gammon player?
