Martin Finger Leads Day 2 of Super High Roller
Welcome back to our coverage of the $100,000 Super High Roller at the 2014 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Yesterday saw a grand total of 52 entries from 45 unique players and at the end of the day Martin Finger sat on the biggest stack with 829,000.
Rounding out the top three stacks are 2013 PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final €100,000 Super High Roller champion Max Altergott with 707,000 and Team Online member Isaac Haxton with 594,500.
While there were 52 entries yesterday, players still have the option to enter or re-enter at the start of the day today. The prize pool information will be available after registration closes at the end of the day.
Day 1 saw a few eliminated players who chose not to re-enter on the first day of play. These players include World Series of Poker Main Event champion Ryan Riess, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, John Juanda, Steven Silverman, and Mike Watson. Daniel Negreanu busted twice during the first day but made a note that he would likely return for a third try on the second day. Guy Laliberté also busted twice on Day 1 but opted to re-enter at the end of the day.
The returning field is, of course, stacked with notable players including reigning champion Scott Seiver, Ole Schemion, Max Altergott, Vanessa Selbst, Bryn Kenney, Isaac Haxton, Jonathan Duhamel, Tony Gregg, Steve O'Dwyer, Justin Bonomo, and Philipp Gruissem.
