Final Table Set

Almost 12 hours ago, the third day of action for the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure High Roller Event began. Returning to the felt were 24 players with the plan to make it down to the final table before concluding play.

Reach the final table we did, but not after multiple hours of nine-handed bubble play. That wasn't the only bubble broken on the day, as the money bubble burst with the elimination of Team PokerStars Pro Dario Minieri in 17th place.

Team PokerStars Pro Sandra Naujoks was the last to go for the day, when she shoved over the top of a Tobias Reinkemeier raise with . Reinkemeier held jacks and they held up to eliminate Naujoks in ninth and set the final table. With the elimination, Reinkeimeier claimed a big chip lead and will be coming into tomorrow with 1.072 million chips.

Some of the notables bustouts on the day were Greg Raymer (13th) and Joe Cada (11th). Both hold a WSOP Main Event title and made excellent showings here.

Here's how the final table will look for tomorrow.

Seat 1: Adolfo Vaeza - 758,000
Seat 2: William Reynolds - 482,000
Seat 3: Michiel Brummelhuis - 394,000
Seat 4: Dmitry Stelmak - 150,000
Seat 5: Will Molson - 669,000
Seat 6: Tobias Reinkemeier - 1,072,000
Seat 7: Lisa Hamilton - 440,000
Seat 8: Matt Marafioti - 236,000

Play will resume tomorrow at 12:00 noon for the final table to be played out. The players will be on the television table on the stage and vying for the $576,240 first-place prize. We'll see you then!
