Each player will start the final tournament with US$ 10,000 in chips, playing until they lose or to make the final table on the fifth day of the event. It is this final which will be filmed for the World Poker Tour TV series. The 2005 cruise will take place on board the Oosterdam, one of Holland America’s ships. The total pot of stakes for the tournament is valued at US$7,5 million. Las Vegas based company Card Player Cruises is the organiser of the sweepstakes.
