Apparently, playing for a $1.4 million top prize at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event wasn't enough action for Carter "cswidler" Swidler on Sunday.

Swidler was in the money on Day 3 of the prestigious tournament in the Bahamas and decided to fire up the PokerStars mobile app to play the Sunday Supersonic, a weekly Sunday tournament with a turbo format. It probably wasn't the highest EV decision he's ever made, but as it turned out Swidler made the final table, ultimately placing fourth for $22,000.

"I don't ever do that," Swidler told PokerNews on Monday, "but I set my alarm for 6:25 to play the Supersonic knowing that it would take a really short amount of time. I somehow ran up a stack."

Swidler said multi-tabling caused him to lose some focus in the Main Event, but his tablemates were keeping an eye on his online escapades as well.

"It looked really strong when I was opening because I was playing on my phone and all the guys at my table were watching me play for $50K. Every time I raised it got through."

Here's a picture of Swidler playing the SuperSonic on his phone, courtesy of Pratyush Buddiga:
