$100,000 PCA Super High Roller
Dia 3 Iniciado
There are just six players returning to the table for the third and final day of the $100,000 PCA Super High Roller at the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in The Bahamas. The majority of the $4.5 million prizepool is still up for grabs with the winner walking home with a cool $1,545,080 and the coveted PokerStars trophy.
A total of 49 entries were recorded in this event and Mike Watson has been the clear chip leader over the course of the first two days. The Canadian poker pro from Newfoundland finished Day 1 with 830,000 chips and will be returning for Day 3 with 3,015,000 chips and the odds-on favorite. Watson already has over $16.6 million in earnings on his poker resume but another seven-figure score at one of the world's top poker spots would push him even further up the ranks.
He is followed closely by two Spaniards Juan Pardo (2,200,000) and Adrian Mateos (2,035,000) who have plenty to show for on their poker resumes as well. Not far in the distance are a couple of American high rollers, Seth Davies (1,870,000) and Isaac Haxton (1,645,000), who are also very well known on the poker circuit. Rounding out the remaining players is another Canadian, Daniel Dvoress (590,000), who will be looking to spin up his short stack.

Dvoress let out a groan as he saw he had run into aces and he received no help whatsoever from the runout of .
Dvoress thought Haxton had him covered but a laborious count confirmed that he had a few chips left.
"Did I miscount? I would've flatted the three-bet," Dvoress lamented.
