$10,300 PCA Main Event
Day 4 Started
Only 20 players remain on Day 4 of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $10,300 Main Event but the stakes are high as many big names remain in contention.
Leading the way on Day 4 is Tommy Nguyen, 2018 WSOP Monster Stack winner, with 2,705,000. Nguyen will be looking to add another seven-figure score to his poker resume. He is trailed closely by Lebanese High Stakes PLO grinder, Jeff Hakim, who bagged up 2,640,000 a difference of just 65,000 chips. WPT L.A. Poker Classic Main Event 2017 champ Daniel Strelitz will start the day 3rd is chips with 2,615,000 and is followed by EPT Prague $50,000 High Roller winner Matthias Eibinger (2,485,000).
Other notables in the final 20 include Brian Altman (1,785,000), Matt Berkey (1,570,000), Chino Rheem (1,425,000), Mihai Manole (1,325,000), Christoph Vogelsang (1,240,000), Simon Deadman (750,000), Joao Simao (725,000), Ami Barer (570,000), Marc-Andre Ladouceur (300,000), and Danny Tang (245,000).
With only 20 players left, everyone remaining is guaranteed a payday of at least $60,840 but of course, that's not what they are eyeing. Those who are lucky enough to advance to the final table are guaranteed a payday of at least $146,840 and up for grabs is a first place prize of $1,567,100 as well as the PCA Main Event trophy.
Action is set to kick off at noon local time at 10,000/25,000/25,000 and the field is scheduled to cut down to just six players.

Brian Altman min-raised to 50,000 and Enrico Camosci came along out of the big blind. On the flop Camosci checked and Altman continued for 45,000. Camosci put in 70,000 and subsequently had to min-raise to 90,000, which Altman called.
Both checked the turn and Camosci used one time bank before betting the river for 400,000. Altman used one time bank himself and moved all in, which immediately sent Camosci into the think tank. After using three additional time banks, Camosci folded and lost half of his stack during the hand.
