$5,300 Main Event
Dia 1c Começado
The sweat is one for the partypoker team as Day 1c of the 2018 Caribbean Poker Party $5,300 Main Event has arrived.
It's not the final sweat, but it is the last of three starting flights with a monstrous $10 million guarantee yet to be met. The field needs 2,000 runners to make the guarantee and is just north of 500 at the dawning of the third starting flight, although Day 2 registration will remain open for several hours.
Thus far, about 300 players have found bags, with the heftiest of those checking in around the 4 million mark. Francois Billard, Eric Afriat, Ami Alibay, Jason Thompkins and partypoker pro Joao Simao are some of the players hovering in the 4 million range.
As with the first two starting days, Day 1c will see players sit down with 1 million in chips at 2,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante. Levels will last an hour apiece and eight of them are on the docket, with a 90-minute dinner break scheduled after the sixth level. Play ends after 8,000/16,000/16,000. Each player is permitted one reentry for the day, although they may still take more shots on Day 2.
Stay with PokerNews here at Baha Mar as we keep tabs on the third and final starting flight of this marquee event, bringing you the partypoker-style overview coverage of the tournament proceedings throughout the day.

In a pot that saw a raise to 75,000 preflop from big blind Brian Altman, Daniel Strelitz went with him from middle position heads up to . Altman bet 50,000 and Strelitz continued to the . This time, Altman won it with a barrel of 200,000.

With on the felt, Calvin Anderson checked and Will Givens bet 300,000 into a pot of 550,000. Anderson craned his neck to get a look at Givens' remaining chips, which amounted to only another 100,000 or so.
"So, you're committed?" Anderson asked.
"I'd like to say so," Givens replied with a laugh. "Can I show you a card?"
"You're gonna show me like...the jack of diamonds."
Givens flashed the with a smile.
"Every time you show that card I'm smashed," Anderson mused.
He gave it up and Givens swept up the pot, with Anderson returning the favor showing the .
With just about 800 players having registered the event in total, 1,200 or so are still needed to make the guarantee.
