We caught up with the action on an 
board and Brett Richey bet 4,800 into David Sands. After a few moments Sands called and when the 
hit the river, Richey bet 7,800. Sands quickly called and Richey showed 
for top pair top kicker. However, Sands tabled 
for a straight to win the pot.
Sands: Up to about 73,000
Richey: Down to roughly 36,500
Well that was quick. Dan Kelly got it in with the nuts, but was eliminated by Fernando Brito.
Under the gun, Brito raised to 400. Kelly popped it to 1,400 from middle position and action folded back around to Brito. He made it 3,900 to go and Kelly called, landing an 
flop. Brito checked, Kelly bet 5,600, and Brito made it 18,000 to play. Kelly went all in for about the starting and Brito called without hesitation.
Kelly: 
Brito: 
Brito was in horrible shape, but found a miraculous 
turn and 
river to make a full house, sending Kelly to the rail and chipping up to about 100,000.

It may be a day off for the Main Event, but there's still plenty of action going on at the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Along with Day 2 of the NAPT Bounty Shootout, the start of the $25,000 High Roller event is today.
Last year, 84 entrants ponied up the hefty buy-in to play the event with young superstar William Reynolds taking home the title after besting Will Molson heads up. This year should be much of the same with the field size, but there are high hopes of breaking the 100-player mark.
The usual suspects will be in the buiding including Team PokerStars Pros Lex Veldhuis and Daniel Negreanu. We expect plenty of other big names in the field and once they all begin to arrive, we'll let you know who's here.
Play kicks off at 12:00 P.M. local time down here in the Bahamas and it's going to be a great event. Be sure to stay tuned for all of the coverage coming up shortly!
