The 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) series has been going on in full steam at the Baha Mar Hotel and Resort in Nassau. The two Indians who were grinding at the $1,100 BSOP Bahamas Main Event are Rajat Sharma and Sriharsha Doddapaneni. As per the latest update, the former is the chip lead at the end of Day 2.
Day 3 of the $1,100 BSOP Bahamas Main Event will see Doddapaneni lock horns with his rivals with a stack of 1,087,000 chips. The Main Event welcomed a total of 460 entries across two days and generated a prize pool of $466,200. Day 2 resumed with 304 players who played until the field was down to the final 37. Of these, the top 63 players were assured a min-cash of $1,850. Similarly, the remaining 37 players have assured themselves a min-cash of $2,350.
