$100,000 Super High Roller
Dia 1 Concluído
Day 1 of the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller has come to a close. After eight one-hour levels of play, the field has been cut down to 37 with European Poker Tour London £50,000 Super High Roller champion Martin Finger leading the way. He bagged up an impressive 829,000 in chips, but there's still a long way to go before this one is all said and done.
On Day 1, there were 52 total entries generated from 45 unique players, but that number could see an increase as registration and reentry are both open until the start of play tomorrow. That is also when the prize pool and payout information will become available.
Only a couple names busted on Day 1 that opted not to reenter, but still have the option to do so. Those were reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champion Ryan Riess, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, John Juanda, Steven Silverman, and Mike Watson.
Daniel Negreanu busted, reentered, and then busted again, but he did mention that he would likely return for a third try on Day 2. Guy Laliberté also busted twice during Day 1, but reentered for the second time right at the end of Day 1 to continue his quest towards the finish line.
Some of the notables surviving Day 1 were Jason Mercier, Vanessa Selbst, Joseph Cheong, Matt Glantz, Philipp Gruissem, Isaac Haxton, Jason Koon, Max Altergott, and Ole Schemion. Defending champion Scott Seiver also remains, and he'll be aiming the achieve the outstanding back-to-back feat.
Day 2 will have the cards in the air at 12 p.m. local time tomorrow at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. You can be sure to catch all of the live updates right here on PokerNews, so stay tuned!
