Day 6: The Final Table
Welcome back to the beautiful Bahamas for Day 6 of the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event!
We have arrived at the final table of this marquee event, and after today one of the eight remaining players will be crowned the Main Event champion and bank $2.3 million. Play resumes at 4 p.m. local time, but because the final table is being broadcast live in a sequestered area we will be unable to provide live updates.
Chris Oliver enters the final table as our overwhelming chip leader with 19.76 million. His next closest competitor, Galen Hall, sits with 6.43 million chips, which is less than a third of Oliver's.
Next on the list are Sam Stein (5.855 million) and Mike Sowers (3.685), both of whom have impressive results. Stein has over $1.1 million in live tournament earnings including a second place finish in the $5,000 NAPT event at the Venetian for $522,306. Sowers has amassed over $1.5 million in tournament earnings including two World Series of Poker final tables.
Anton Ionel (3.52 million), Max Weinberg (3.35 million), Bolivar Palacios (2.445 million) and Philippe Plouffe (1.555 million) round out the group. Palacios' name may be most familiar because he has three LAPT final tables including a second place finish at Rosario in Brazil for $188,280.
The action is sure to be exciting today, and we hope that you follow us here.
