Welcome back to Day 4 of the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $5,300 Main Event. With 73 players remaining, the field is well into the money. Brazil's Leonardo Pires leads with 2.095 million, and he's got a nice lead over Phillip McAllister in second with 1.329 million.
Outside of those two competitors, the skillful and experienced group of Matt Waxman (949,000), Jason Mercier (704,000), Jason Koon (493,000), Fedor Holz (378,000), Shawn Buchanan (268,000), Stephen Chidwick (193,000), and Felipe Ramos (135,000) also remain.
Then you've got Argentina's Juan Pastor, and he's one to watch on Day 4. Last year, Pastor placed fifth in this event for $380,720. He'll come into today with 230,000 in chips, which is less than average, but he has experience going deep in this event on his side.
Similar to Pastor, Tony Gregg, who finished Day 3 on 590,000, has experience in this event, and he's definitely a player that knows how to crush the PCA Main Event. Gregg finished runner-up in 2009 for $1.7 million from a field of 1,347 players. In 2012, Gregg made his way back to the final table from a field of 1,072 players and took sixth for $364,000.
All of the remaining competitors have locked up a minimum of $10,840. After two more eliminations take place, they'll earn a pay jump to $12,880.
The cards will be in the air at 12 p.m. local time for Day 4, and the plan will be to play down to 16 players or as announced by the tournament staff at the beginning of the day.
