The $10,000 Single-Day High Roller Begins Today
Welcome back to PokerNews' coverage of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Today marks the final day of the series and while action is still going strong in the $10,300 Main Event and the $25,000 High Roller another event will not only kick off, but finish today as well. The $10,000 Single-Day High Roller is sure to bring out some of the biggest names and brightest stars in poker.
Last year, this event was held as a turbo six-max. The tournament brought out a total of 49 players, creating a prizepool of $475,300. It was Ben Tollerene who bested Chance Kornuth heads up to take down the $149,000 first place prize and the trophy. A new champion will be crowned today in the final event of the series, which should be similar to that one.
Players will begin with a whopping 100,000 chips and action will be eight handed. Blinds will start off at 500/1,000 with an ante of 100. The tournament will also have a 30-second shot clock, much like the other high roller events of this series, so players will have to make their moves quick. Each player will also be given three time bank chips which are worth an extra minute of thinking time.
Action is set to kick off at 1 p.m. local time. and PokerNews will be covering this event from start to finish so make sure to stay tuned for all the upcoming action.
