Day 1b of the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $5,300 Main Event came to a close following eight levels of play on Saturday. Nearly 700 entries were tallied on the day, and under 500 of them advanced to Day 2. With registration open until the start of Day 2, the numbers of entries should climb and the final total will be available on Sunday, along with the prize pool.
Russia's Alexandr Komarov led the way after Day 1b, bagging up 168,100 in chips. He was trailed closely by the USA's Jonathan Jaffe with 164,000 in chips and Randy Kritzer with 161,500, but no one was able to top Toby Lewis' 188,000 from Day 1a.
