On March 21, International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC) and Piaget hosted the conclusion of one the most prestigious tournaments in polo, the USPA Piaget Gold Cup. Record-breaking crowds witnessed ten-goaler Adolfo Cambiaso, universally recognized by his peers as the sport’s best player, score five times to lead Crab Orchard to a stunning 12-7 victory over Las Monjitas. Equally as stunning were the festivities surrounding the impressive win.

The afternoon was set in motion by Jeffrey Donovan, star of the TV series “Burn Notice,” who made a spectacular entrance by landing on the Piaget Field in a helicopter. America’s top-ranked player and Piaget Man to Watch in 2010 Nicolas Roldan was in attendance, along with polo champion and face of Ralph Lauren fragrances Nacho Figueras, as well as Academy Award-winning actor and respected polo player Tommy Lee Jones.

Yves G. Piaget and Larry Boland, president of Piaget, hosted an exclusive and highly-attended post-match celebration which featured whimsical synchronized swimmers and a preview of the Piaget Polo FortyFive Timepiece Collection.

“I was both pleased and excited to see over five thousand spectators on hand for the championship game,” said Yves G. Piaget. “It was like the old days at Palm Beach Polo and Country Club. I am so pleased that Piaget has taken such an active part in this great game.”

“The 2010 Palm Beach Polo Season has welcomed the largest crowds since IPC’s inception in 2004, confirmation that polo at IPC is attracting scores of new fans from Miami to Jupiter,” said John Wash, President of Operations for IPC. “The USPA Piaget Gold Cup Final was an amazing illustration of polo’s appeal throughout South Florida.”

Actor Jeffrey Donovan loves everything about ” Burn Notice.”

He loves that he gets to play a spy in the series, which wrapped up its third season in February on USA Network.

He loves that the show is not only set in Miami but also filmed in South Florida.

And he loves the fight scenes, although the ones with co-star Gabrielle Anwar can be quite tricky.

The most dangerous (scene to film) is either a bomb going off or a fight with Gabrielle,” he said during a conference call. “They’re about the same.”

Now that the traditional TV season of starting shows in the Fall and then having to watch reruns all Summer is pretty much gone for good, networks are debuting new shows and bringin back old ones pretty much anytime of the year. Case in point is USA Networks announcement of new and returning shows debuting this Summer.
Among the shows debuting or returning to the newtok over the next fews months are the brand new Covert Affairs featuring Piper Perabo, Christopher Goram and Heroes alum Sendhil Ramamurthy. Returining shows include Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Royal Pains, In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, White Collar and Psych.
