While staying up to date with all the PCA and PSPC action from The Bahamas, make sure to check out the PokerStars live streaming schedule.
Overall there will be ten days of streaming across both Main Events, with plenty of analysis, player interviews and more.
PokerNews spoke with PokerStars presenter and commentator James Hartigan, who said that he was "incredibly excited" to be heading back to the Caribbean.
"It's the first time in four years, but it's a brand new venue," he told PokerNews. "And this time the PCA precedes the PSPC — so we've got two big events back-to-back."
Nicholas Marchington moved all-in from early position for 51,000 before Kenny Hallaert committed his final 26,500 to his left. Justin Steinbrenner told the table that he thought he had to call from the big blind before sliding in the chips, putting Marchington and Hallaert at risk.
Kenny Hallaert: ![]()
![]()
Nicholas Marchington: ![]()
![]()
Justin Steinbrenner: ![]()
![]()
Hallaert's pocket queens were in the lead, but that advantage was in jeopardy after the ![]()
![]()
flop. "Good game" joked Hallaert after seeing Steinbrenner's flush draw, which quickly hit on the
turn.
The
river completed the board, as Steinbrenner's flush was good to score two early bounties.

Nadya Magnus opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Santiago Plante used his big stack to shove all in from the cutoff. With Magnus in the tank, Plante decided to offer up some advice.
"If it's close, I think you should fold. You cover three short stacks," he pointed out to the three shorties on Magnus' right. "You get to go after them, so you see if they're all in."
"Since the PLO8 tournament doesn't start for another 20 minutes, I'll let you have it," Magnus replied.
On the next hand, the action folded to Plante who ripped all in with short stacks only to follow. Magnus looked down at a reasonable holding in the big blind and decided to call this time.
Nadya Magnus: ![]()
![]()
Santiago Plante: ![]()
![]()
The flop came ![]()
![]()
and Magnus made three aces to take the lead. The turn was the
as Plante picked up a flush draw but the
bricked out on the river to give Magnus the double.
