Welcome to Day 2 of the $10,300 PCA Main Event
Welcome to Day 2 of the $10,300 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event here at the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure at the lavish Baha Mar Resort.
Yesterday was an action-packed affair with 474 entries joining the field to push the prize pool to $6,208,000.
Only 238 players found a bag at the end of the second flight, and they will be joined on Day 2 by the 80 survivors from Day 1a. That number will surely grow as late registration and reentries will be open until the end of Level 10 at approximately 3:40 p.m. local time.
Day 1a chip leader Andre Marques will head into Day 2 as the biggest stack having bagged 197,500. He will be closely followed by Sergi Reixach (196,900) and Michael Rocco (195,400) who both bagged big yeseterday in Day 1b.
