When the draw was made, it was Pieter Breedveld who was selected as the lucky recipient of a $10,000 package and now he\u2019ll be heading to Punta Cana with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$5,300 buy-in for the partypoker MILLIONS Caribbean Main Event<\/li>\n<li>$2,000 towards flights<\/li>\n<li>All-inclusive hotel for two<\/li>\n<li>Free transfers from Punta Cana International Airport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The partypoker blog caught up with Breedveld to see how he was feeling about getting his hands on a Caribbean Poker Party package.<\/p>\n<p>Breedveld has never been to the Caribbean so when he was informed that he had won a package for this November he was \u201cvery pleasantly surprised and very excited at the same time.\u201d His guest is going to be \u201ca very good friend of mine, someone who I went on several Las Vegas trips with in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although predominantly an online poker player, our package winner is set to delve into the live arena in a bid to sharpen his skills in preparation for what will be the biggest tournament of his life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will the biggest tournament i played. I have some experience playing live cash games here in the Netherlands and also in Las Vegas. I don&#8217;t play much live poker at the moment, but in the coming months i will definitely start play some more live poker trying to sharpen those skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44678\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44678\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-44678 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/IMG_34711-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3471\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-44678\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pieter with his cat, Daisy<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the partypoker MILLIONS Caribbean will be the largest buy-in tournament Breedveld has played, he does have some experience of high stakes tournaments online and his background in sit &amp; go games should stand him in good stead for the $5 million guaranteed tournament he\u2019ll be competing in later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy biggest tourney was a $1050 online. Most of my play these days are in Sit and go&#8217;s\/Spin and go&#8217;s and also tournaments. I have been playing poker for about 10 years already.<br \/>\nAnd i&#8217;m always trying to improve by reviewing my play, analyzing situations, doing database review etc. I have played so many sit and go&#8217;s and tournaments in those years online<br \/>\nthat I\u2019m pretty well adapt to a lot situations, like icm, playing different stack depths etc. I just hope i can keep my cool and make the right decisions in the heat of the moment. That&#8217;s something you probably can only learn by actually playing a live events such as this. It&#8217;s going to be a awesome experience for me anyway!\u201d<br \/>\nUnsurprisingly, Breeveld is a fan of the recent Quick-Fire Sit &amp; Go Leaderboard promotion and the host of other promos partypoker has been and continues to run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m really big fan of these kind of promotions. And i&#8217;m not just saying that because I was so lucky to win a CPP package haha. Especially the fact that you place on the leaderboard in a four-hour period. So you can play any block you want, and then really go for it in those for four hours. I am really looking forward to similar promotions in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our lucky winner was also happy with the direction partypoker has taken in recent months as we attempt to make playing a partypoker a fantastic experience for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen the direction poker has gone at some other sites and I think the timing of all these changes at party poker couldn&#8217;t come at a better time. With the improved rakeback and all sorts of other promotions you make your players feel valued for playing at your site. There is still a lot to improve, but i think party is definitely heading in the right direction!<\/p>\n<p>So what advice does Breeveld have for his fellow partypoker players who are sitting on the fence, pondering whether to get stuck into a promotion or not?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust give it a shot. There are different ways to qualify. Sometimes at no cost to the player. Nothing to lose! You get a lot of free satellite tickets at party almost every day to try to win your way into the live events. Or you get lucky like me haha!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Satellites for the Caribbean Poker Party and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/caribbean-poker-party-leaderboards.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leaderboard promotion<\/a> are still available but can\u2019t run forever, so why not try and win yourself a $10,000 package and join this lucky man i Punta Cana this November?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ready to join the party?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re ready to jump into the action, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/en\/download\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>click here to download partypoker and get started<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>If you already have an account with us, click here to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/promo.partypoker.com\/en\/promo\/launch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open partypoker and hit the tables<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the Quick-Fire Leaderboards ran at partypoker over the weekend of July 14, one of the amazing prizes on offer was a $10,000 package to the Caribbean Poker Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":44679,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2182,300],"tags":[917,1279,1424,919,1280,375],"yst_prominent_words":[6126,3158,3151,6059,3171,4838,6189,3167,4604,2251,2588,3599,2582,3159,4660,4623],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44676"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44676"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":135299,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44676\/revisions\/135299"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44676"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=44676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
