A Journey of a Lifetime

Among those who partook in the Grand Tauro USA were PokerStars Ambassadors Andre Akkari, Arlie Shaban, and Frankie Cucchiara, with friend of PokerStars Maria Ho, and famous faces such as Naomi Schiff, Chelcee Grimes, Leticia Bufoni, P1 hosts Matt Gallagher & Tommy Bellingham, Juliana Muncinelli, and Cris Guedes.

The four-day journey was filled with a full slate of activities and stops. Kicking off at Pebble Beach, California, the convoy traveled up the west coast to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and across to Yosemite National Park where they camped under the stars. From there, they continued down through Sequoia National Park to Bakersfield, California where they connected with other qualifiers, players, and PokerStars officials for a special poker night at 18th Street Bar and Grill, which was closed to the public.

There, patrons were treated to free food and drink, live entertainment, and a three-table tournament staffed by some of the industrys professionals Charlie Ciresi, Bob Smith, Tyler Mitchell, and MacKenzie Williams.

Among those to participate in that tournament were PokerStars commentators James Hartigan and Joe Staples Stapleton, PokerStars Marketing Director Tom Warren, and PokerStars CEO Kevin Harrington, who finished as the last player standing to win the tournament for a silver Spadie trophy (though the prize was given to the highest-finishing qualifier).

The following day, they paid a visit to Death Valley before finally reaching the finish line at Wynn Las Vegas in time to enjoy three days of Oracle Red Bull Racing VIP hospitality at the inaugural Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Rebecca McAdam Willets, Director of Partnerships & Public Relations at PokerStars, said, Weve truly brought our two worlds together to create two weeks of entertainment for poker fans and F1 fans alike.
