On Wednesday, the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure officially kicked off with the $100,000 Super High Roller. The tournament attracted 43 of the world's best players, who accounted for six reentires, to the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. That number is sure to grow as late registration is open until the start of play on Day 2.
After eight one-hour levels of play, just 32 players survived the night with 2013 EPT London High Roller champ Talal Shakerchi and his stack of 805,000 leading the way. Others who bagged big stacks include Nick Petrangelo (800,000), Kathy Lehne (783,000), David Peters (772,000), and reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen (732,000).
