"Here's the real truth: not every poker trip lands with a W."
That's the sobering, yet frank truth bomb that Jo Kim delivers at the top of the latest episode of the Ari & Jo Show as she and her other half – Ari Engel – prepare to head to Punta Cana in the Dominican republic for yet another poker tournament series, the Caribbean Poker Experience. Engel follows up with: "The goal is simple: leave with more money than we came with."
Before the dynamic duo hit the beaches and the tables in Punta Cana, they bring us along to watch Engel notch his 20th World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) ring.
And then it's back to business in paradise.
Poker and caipirinhas, a winning combo
In this episode, audiences get much more of the behind-the-scenes look into Kim and Engel's life on the poker circuit. While there's plenty of poker included along the way, the episode takes on a looser feel – more present and in the moment, rather than scripted or rehearsed. Engel and Kim show us the off-the-felt activities, including time at the beach, good meals, and lots of caipirinhas.
As they dodge rain storms and bad beats, the two bring their positive energy and big laughs to every moment.
Oh, and Kim makes a run at the final table of the Caribbean Poker Experience Main Event – tune in now to see how she fares.
