The poker game was hosted by Captain Slates Atlantis Dive Center, and part of a weekend festival which culminates with a Buccaneer Finale Sunday, with events including a parade with floats and costume contests, live-steel swordplay, an artillery-clad re-enactment of the notorious pirate Black Caesars return, a By-Land-or-Sea Booty Hunt and a Pirate Bazaar and Thieves Market.
