Final Table Date Mar 26, 2005 Buy-In $10000 + $500 Number of Entrants 735 Prize Pool $7430000 Tournament Details The WPT hit the Sea of Cortez for the Cruisin' Mexico Party Poker Tournament, a floating festival of cards that created not one, but two new WPT millionaires. 735 players ponied up $10000 to test their mettle aboard the beautiful cruise ship MS Oosterdam, pushing the prize pool to the largest in WPT history - $7207108. It's a fitting testament to another milestone reached with this tournament, as the WPT crossed the $100000000 mark in poker payouts in its third season. Last year Erick Lindgren edged out Daniel Negreanu for his first million. This year, the 21st and 22nd WPT millionaires came from these final six players... In Seat 1, Adam Csallany, a 23 year old Computer Science major at University of Minnesota, the short stack, with $360000. In Seat 2, Mathew Cherackal, a 22 year old Princeton Pre-Med student, with $1440000. In Seat 3, David "the Colonel" Minto, a retired USAF Lieutenant Colonel from Alamogordo, New Mexico, the chip leader, with $2500000. In Seat 4, Paul "the Truth" Darden, a former WPT Champion, in his 2nd WPT final, with $900000. In Seat 5, Richard Kain, a 33 year old San Francisco marketing executive, with $1530000.

Panama Canal Crossing 10 Oct 2004
10 October 2004 The Panama Canal is a ship canal which joins the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific ocean. One of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, it had an enormous impact on shipping between the two oceans, replacing the long and treacherous route via the Drake Passage and Cape Horn at the southernmost tip of South America. A ship sailing from New York to San Francisco via the canal travels 9500 km (6000 mi), well under half the 22500 km (14000 mi) route around Cape Horn.[1] Although the concept of a canal near Panama dates back to the early 16th century, the first attempt to construct a canal began in 1880 under French leadership. After this attempt failed and 21900 workers died, the project of building a canal was attempted and completed by the United States in the early 1900s, with the canal opening in 1914. The building of the 77 km (48 mi) canal was plagued by problems, including disease (particularly malaria and yellow fever) and landslides. By the time the canal was completed, a total of 27500 workmen are estimated to have died in the French and American efforts. Since opening, the canal has been enormously successful, and continues to be a key conduit for international maritime trade. The canal can accommodate vessels from small private yachts up to large commercial vessels. The maximum size of vessel that can use the canal is known as Panamax; an increasing number of modern ships exceed this limit, and are known as post-Panamax or ...
