"Really cool that the WSOP is giving us a package to Paradise this year just for doing what we are already trying to do, which is win tournaments. Anytime you get to go to the beach in winter, it can't be a bad thing!"

Stephen Huynh: excited for the beach at Atlantis Paradise
“I look forward to the beach and the environment. It will be my first time in the Bahamas, AKA Paradise. I'm looking forward to traveling to the Bahamas just like I did in the Navy. It will be a good break from life.
“It will be a matter of feng shui and energy. If it is meant to be, then it is meant to be. I'm manifesting great things that will happen to me and the people I love, which are poker itself, the foodies, the poker community, the poker media team, and my poker friends and circle. It will be up to the Poker Gods, let the cards fly!”
