Welcome to the final day of Event #25: $50,000 8-Handed at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure at the beautiful Baha Mar Resort in The Bahamas.
Yesterday saw six high rollers join the field to create a prize pool of $389,664, but with late registration and rebuys still open until the end of Level 12, expect that number to grow.
USA's Jonathan Jaffe bagged the top stack in Day 1 and will look to put his 88 big blinds to work in the hunt for his first ever PCA title. Jaffe finished second in the 2018 $25,000 PCA High Roller for $569,760, and with over six million in live earnings, is no stranger to these fields.
Rounding out the top three is Daniel Dvoress with 317,000 and Orpen Kisacikoglu with 248,000, who both managed to find a bag with only one bullet.
