Welcome to Day 1 of the 2023 PCA $100,000 6-Handed High Roller
The business end of the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure has been reached and just two tournament days remain at the Convention Centre of the lavish Baha Mar Resort in The Bahamas. Several high-stakes competitions have already crowned winners with the $250,000 PSPC Super High Roller and the $25,000 PCA High Roller currently underway.
Those big names of the international poker scene who are seeking another challenge can do so in the final $100,000 7-Handed High Roller, which is set to get underway at 8 p.m. local time. This two-day event will feature a level duration of 30 minutes throughout and Day 1 includes ten levels with a 20-minute break after the conclusion of levels three and six.
A star-studded field is expected once more and late registration for the tournament remains open until the start of Level 13 on Day 2 at approximately 1:30 pm local time. As usual, the high-stakes contest features a 30-second shot clock and participants will receive at least four time bank extensions with further ones awarded upon the start of even-numbered levels.
Among the high-stakes tournament winners during the 2023 PCA so far are Isaac Haxton, David Yan, Conor Beresford, Jonathan Jaffe, and Justin Bonomo. Haxton's victory came in a tournament with the same price tag as he chopped the $100,000 PCA Super High Roller three ways with Seth Davies and Adrian Mateos, ensuring a seven-figure payday for the trio.
Cards will be in the air at approximately 8 p.m. local time with blinds of 500/1,000 and a big blind ante of 1,000. All players entering right from the start will have 150 big blinds at their disposal as the tournament features a starting stack of 150,000.
Stay tuned for the high-stakes action from The Bahamas, as the PokerNews live reporting team will be on the floor to provide as many key hands as possible en route to crowning a winner in the final two days of the 2023 PCA series.
