Who Will Walk Away with the 2016 PCA SHR Title & $1,687,800 First-Place Prize?
Welcome back to the third and final day of the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller!
This tournament began with 44 unique players who accounted for 14 reentries (including three from Bill Perkins), which brought the total field up to 58 entries and created a $5,626,000 prize pool. A portion of that was awarded yesterday as Kathy Lehne (8th - $225,040) and Daniel Dvoress (7th - $286,920) were both eliminated before play halted for the night.
Today, the final six players will return to compete for a $1,687,800 first-place prize. Leading the way is Bryn Kenney, who bagged up 3.82 million after eliminating Dvoress in the last hand of the night, the result of Dvoress running queens into kings.
The 29-year-old Kenney, who has previously finished third in this event twice before (back in 2011 and 2015 for $643,000 and $873,880 respectively) may hold the chip lead, but five other established players are nipping at his heels including SCOOP and WCOOP champ Ankush "pistons87" Mandavia (3.36 million), 2015 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen (2.805 million), David Peters (2.085 million), Isaac Haxton (1.395 million), and Mustapha Kanit (1.03 million).
All of those players are guaranteed a minimum $360,060 in prize money, but of course everyone has their eyes on taking home the trophy and adding their name to this prestigious list of champions:
