The 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure continues today with Day 2 of $100,000 PCA Super High Roller, an exciting event that has attracted dozens of big names and will continue to do so until late registration closes at the start of play at 12:30 p.m. local time.

Other big names include Europeans Patrik Antonius, Adrian Mateos, Aleksejs Ponakovs and Mikita Badziakouski, Americans Nick Petrangelo, Seth Davies, Chris Brewer, Dan Smith and Isaac Haxton and Canadians Timothy Adams, Sam Greenwood, Daniel Dvoress and Mike Watson, who managed to bag the chip lead with a stack good for 138 big blinds.

While most players who busted on Day 1 re-bought on a second bullet, there are a few who fell that may hop back into the unlimited reentry event today, including David Yan, Vicente Delgado, Fedor Holz and PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton, who couldn't get anything going on Day 1 despite firing two bullets.
Action will kick off on Level 9 with blinds of 3,000/6,000/6,000 and levels will remain an hour length for the duration of the tournament. There will be a 20-minute break every two levels and a 75-minute after Level 14. Prize pool information should be available shortly after the start of play.
Stay tuned as the PokerNews live reporting team is here on-site and ready to bring all the updates heading to the next high roller being crowned.
