Ante Up Poker Cruises set sail from Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera on Jan. 24 with a fun-filled group of poker players who filled the poker room aboard the Norwegian Jewel for seven nights of cash games, tournaments, free poker classes and great shore excursions.

Tim Kahn, Brent Philbin and Kathy Chang were tournament winners, and Joe Massaro cashed in all three events to take the early lead in the 2016 Ante Up Poker Tour Player of the Year race. Online pro Tony Ciorciari was aboard, and taught a free intermediate hold’em class as well as offering paid instruction.

This was also the first cruise that players earned $5 off a future cruise for every hour they played in cash games!
