Get Ready for Day 1b of the 2016 PCA Main Event
![[user68268]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
At 12 p.m. local time today, Day 1b of the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $5,300 Main Event will commence. Friday's Day 1a field attracted 210 players to the felt, and it was England's Toby Lewis who topped the surviving players with 188,000 in chips.
Lewis' lead proved a large one, with Boyuan Qu's second-place stack coming in at 149,800. Behind him was Kathy Lehne (130,100), Andrey Zaichenko (119,500), and Ryan Blank (114,400). All told, 131 competitors advanced from Day 1a.
Last Year's field tallied up 816 entries, and the event was won by American Kevin Sculz for $1,491,580. As is accustomed to poker tournaments everywhere, the last starting flight is always much, much larger, so expect to see a huge boost of competitors on Day 1b.
Two players we do expect to see in action on Day 1b are Bryn Kenney and Joe McKeehen. That duo battled deep into the night in the finale of the $100,000 Super High Roller that was wrapping up during Day 1a. Kenney came out on top for $1,687,800, and McKeehen, who won the World Series of Poker Main Event in 2015 for $7,683,346, took second for $1,220,840. Both will likely jump into today's $50,000 Single-Day High Roller before entering the Main Event, but registration here will remain open until the start of Day 2, so they have plenty of time to get involved.
Others we expect in the field are Daniel Negreanu, Jason Somerville, Liv Boeree, Vanessa Selbst, Ryan Riess, Igor Kurganov, and Ole Schemion.
Each player today will begin with 30,000 in tournament chips, and the plan will be to grind through eight one-hour levels of action. A 15-minute break has been scheduled following the completion of every two levels, with no dinner break.

A Couple of Raises
Nível 1
: 50/100, 0 ante
- Early in level 1, most of the pots are small, but there are a lot of chances to set the pace for the rest of the day. On this hand, a player raised to 225 from middle position into defending PCA Main Event Champ Kevin Schulz's big blind. Schulz wasted little time before reraising to 800 and taking down the pot.
- John Racener has been active early, on this hand the former WSOP Main Event runner-up saw a flop heads up for 300. He checked the
flop and raised when his opponent bet 400. Racener made it 1,200 and that was enough to win the hand.

Three players saw the 
flop, including Melisa Singh. The small blind checked, Singh checked, and the last player to act bet 2,000. Singh was the lone caller.
Both players checked down the 
turn and the

The river was the
