What a heck of a summer it has been!
As mentioned in last month's newsletter, I've spent the past month on the East Coast in the U.S. on vacation with my family. Everyone loves pictures, so (exclusive to subscribers) here are some from my vacation. 😀 I hope you've all had an excellent summer as well.
While on holiday, I took my foot off the gas pedal a bit and didn't do too much writing, but that didn't mean we were on a total break; far from it! A number of our great contributors helped to fill the void and produced some excellent poker articles that I hope you've enjoyed. Thanks so much to James Guill, Will Shillibier, George Chao, Jared Tendler, Shannon Mack, Chad Holloway, and Tadas Peckaitis!
Also, big thanks to Brad Chalupski for proudly representing Cardplayer Lifestyle at the PokerStars Championship Barcelona. We've already published some of Brad's articles, and we've also got a number of interviews he conducted that you can look forward to reading in the coming couple of weeks, including a behind-the-scenes account of a special day he spent with Jaime Staples. Check him out, with PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree, below.
I'm about to head back home to Israel, with batteries fully recharged. I've still got plenty of great poker stories to tell you all from this summer and can't wait to write them up for you, so this next month should be an exciting one.

Bradley Chalupski had never attended a professional poker tournament series before. His first experience was covering the 2017 PokerStars Championship Barcelona for Cardplayer Lifestyle.
In this post, he explains to us what it was like, including watching Igor Kurganov win a million and all the emotions that accompany that.
We hope you enjoy this unique perspective on what (in the poker world) has become quite a commonplace occurrence.
