Participating in the 10th PokerStars Caribbean Adventure can prove to a lot more exciting now than before, for it features some of the less-known poker variants, giving all a chance to explore the game further. The Open Face Chinese poker is one such event that you many want to look at during the series. The poker variant may have more or less the same hand rankings, but the game is in no way similar to the other variants. That is what makes it exciting, especially if you are the kind who enjoys learning something new about the game at every possible turn.
