Danchev Leads The Way Into Day 5
Welcome to PokerNews' Day 5 coverage of the 2013 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event. The starting field of 987 players is down to just 21 hopefuls, each with his eye on the $1,859,000 first-place prize. Leading the way into Day 5 is Dimitar Danchev with 4.08 million.
Danchev spent Day 4 steadily building his stack and by the time it was announced that three more hands would be dealt before bagging and tagging for the day, Danchev was third in chips before the biggest pot of the tournament took place. Danchev and start-of-Day-4 chip leader Patrick Kelly tangled in a roughly 4 million chip pot with Danchev emerging victorious to seize the chip lead.
A talented group is hot on his heels, though, as Owen Crowe (2.5 million), Ryan Fair (2.496 million), Yann Dion (2.296 million), and Robert Mizrachi (1.99 million) have exceptional poker résumés to their names and complete the top five chip counts.
Play is set to resume at noon local time, about 20 minutes from now, so be sure to keep it here throughout the day as we play down to a final table!
