Sean Winter Eliminated in 2nd Place ($550,000)

Level 26 : 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Sean Winter
Sean Winter

Sean Winter shoved all in from the button with a covering stack and [Removed:150] snap-called and slapped {a-Spades}{k-Spades} onto the felt. Winter showed {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and needed help but got none on the {4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board. He sent over 26 million, leaving himself with crumbs.

Winter managed one double up and got a shove through but the big comeback ended one hand later when Iadisernia's {q-}{10-} held against {q-}{7-}.

Ali Imsirovic Eliminated in 3rd Place ($400,000)

Level 25 : 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Ali Imsirovic
Ali Imsirovic

Ali Imsirovic played a large pot with [Removed:150] wherein the latter raised in the small blind and bet 4 million on a {j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop. He then jammed the {a-Clubs} turn and a disgusted Imsirovic folded.

On the next hand, Imsirovic shoved from the small blind for 6.1 million. Sean Winter considered briefly then called, causing Imsirovic to grimace before turning over {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Winter had the {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and the {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board did nothing for Imsirovic, who took his leave in third.

Talal Shakerchi Eliminated in 4th Place ($299,000)

Level 23 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Talal Shakerchi
Talal Shakerchi

Talal Shakerchi got all in for about 7.5 million on the button with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and was racing against the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} of Sean Winter. The {5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board favored the latter with trip kings.

"Good game, Talal," Winter said.

"You too."

Afterward, Ali Imsirovic, who laddered with 10 big blinds, admitted he was pleased with the outcome.

Sorel Mizzi Eliminated in 5th Place ($225,000)

Level 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Sorel Mizzi raised and called a shove of 5,975,000 from big blind Talal Shakerchi. Shakerchi showed {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and dominated Mizzi's {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. The {q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Clubs} left the nines best and Mizzi sent over all but his last 1.5 million or so.

That went in shortly thereafter with {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and he was ahead against Sean Winter's {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The flop was safe for Mizzi but Winter turned a seven to finish him off.

Markus Prinz Eliminated in 6th Place ($175,000)

Level 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Markus Prinz
Markus Prinz

Markus Prinz got his remaining 4 million or so in preflop with {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} but ran into a dominating {q-Hearts}{q-Spades} held by [Removed:150]. The {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} didn't help Prinz but he picked up a bit of equity on the {a-Spades} turn. The {a-Clubs} river missed him, though, and he headed off with his buddies who were railing to collect a payout.

Christopher Kruk Eliminated in 8th Place

Christopher Kruk
Christopher Kruk

Christopher Kruk lost a series of pots to bubble. In the last two, he lost preflop all-in spots to Talal Shakerchi. The first saw Shakerchi shove for about 2.3 million under the gun and Kruk reship with {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Shakerchi had {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and paired up on {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Then, Kruk jammed for 3,430,000 with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Shakerchi found the {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. The board ran out {4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Kruk took a disappointing leave on the bubble.

Welcome to the Caribbean Poker Party $50,000 Super High Roller

CPP Poker Room
CPP Poker Room

It's a busy day at the partypoker 2018 Caribbean Poker Party, as not only will the $25,500 MILLIONS World and $5,300 Main Event continue, but there's a $50,000 Super High Roller on the docket as well.

The $50,000 Super High Roller will sport the usual partypoker chip structure with 1 million in starting chips and levels starting at 2,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante. Unlimited reentry is permitted and the structure is a bit faster to fit into a single day, featuring 30-minute levels.

The tournament is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start here at Baha Mar, but high roller events tend to get rolling a bit late in many cases so it remains to be seen if that will ultimately be the case. Either way, the setup of the Main Event has been structured to allow players maximum flexibility, with Day 2 buy-ins that are still 50 big blinds deep so everyone can still fire this if they'd like, even if they've yet to find a bag in the Main.

Fields here at the Caribbean Poker Party have been chock-full of the strongest and deepest-pocketed poker players out there, so there should certainly be an appetite for the hefty buy-in event. Unfortunately, due to limited resources on hand, PokerNews will only be providing token coverage of this nosebleed tournament. Check back for updates on players and the prize pool, as well as a recap at day's end.
