Day 1b Kicks Off at 12 p.m. ET; PokerStars' Grafton & Akkari Secure Bags for Day 2
It's another beautiful day in The Bahamas and the action from the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) continues with Day 1b of the $10,300 PCA Main Event, which kicks off at 12 p.m. ET inside the fantastic Baha Mar Resort.
Like yesterday, the plan is to play eight 60-minute levels with a 20-minute player break scheduled upon the completion of every two levels.
Those who opt to pay the five-figure buy-in will receive a 30,000 starting stack and will need to have chips in front of them upon the completion of the day to make it through to the next stage.
Each player is permitted two entries per flight/day and late registration closes upon the completion of Level 10 on Day 2.

Day 1a Recap
Over the course of the first starting flight, 166 entries were recorded with just 80 of those bagging and tagging a stack for Wednesday's Day 2.
Among the Day 1a field were a number of PokerStars ambassadors such as Parker Talbot, Alejandro Lococo and Lex Veldhuis. However, neither player survived the first leg of the tournament.
Andre Akkari and Sam Grafton also donned the PokerStars patch and had a more fruitful session on the felt. Both players had chips in front of them when Day 1a wrapped up and will pilot over stacks of 136,900 and 53,400 to Day 2 respectively.
When the dust settled from the first starting flight, Portugal's Andre Marques was confirmed as the Day 1a chip leader after ending the day with a stack of 197,500. Maximilian Silz (182,200) and Alberto Meran (155,900) also bagged six-figure stacks and round out the top three chip counts.
Other notable names who advanced to Day 2 from yesterday include Yuri Dzivielevski (130,900), Chance Kornuth (127,000) and Steve O'Dwyer (104,800).
As always, be sure to keep it locked in with PokerNews to keep up with all the action from the PCA.

Brewer Busts in First Level
Nível 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
David Bokor raised to 300 first to act before Corel Theuma three-bet to 1,000 from the button. Chris Brewer reraised to 3,500 from the small blind and only Theuma called.
Brewer, who is no longer rocking a mullet hairdo, continued for 1,700 on the 
flop and was called.
The turn brought in the 
which prompted Brewer to fire another 5,500. Theuma, who had Brewer covered, slid out his T-5000 chips which was enough to the high roller all-in. Brewer called off his remaining 20,000 chips but didn't seem too pleased about it.
Chris Brewer: 
Corel Theuma: 
Brewer's king-high was still ahead but Theuma had a double gutter to the straight as well as a flush draw.
The 
river completed Theuma's flush draw and Brewer headed off to the registration desk.

Steinmueller Wins Very Healthy Pot Versus Kaverman
Nível 1
: Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
In a battle button versus small blind with three players active at the table, a pot worth around 8,000 had emerged until the 
turn on which Byron Kaverman check-called a bet worth 3,500 by Jonas Steinmueller. The 
fell on the river and Kaverman checked again.
Steinmueller bet 5,700 and received a very quick call by Kaverman within around five seconds to reveal for a rivered full house as the winning hand.
