There's no stopping Charlie Carrel! After an amazing 2015 with a win in the EPT Grand Final High Roller and an even better 2016 with numerous big scores (amongst others a runner-up in the EPT Prague Super High Roller), he's back at it here in 2017. The ever smiling Carrel leads the final table of the $100,000 buy-in Super High Roller at the inaugural PokerStars Championship Bahamas!
While Carrel has become a household name for poker fans from all over the world after making final table after final table, he's not the only one with a thick Hendonmob to back up his reputation. In fact, all six of his opponents are world class players with all a poker resume we could write extensive profiles on. There are no wild cards, no qualifiers on the run of a lifetime; it's seven regulars who are going to decide who takes down the top prize today.
