Winter and Peters bag up chips in PCA Single Day HR

Bahamas is witnessing a major series at the Atlantis Resort and Casino. The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) began on 5^th January and kicked off with the PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC). While, up until now, the series was occupied with the prestigious PSPC, today saw another event – $25k Single Day High Roller – being hosted in the series.

The High Roller was expected to be wrapped up today itself, but the play went on till around 4 am local time and due to the tournament room’s policies, they had to close the event for tomorrow just a while after heads-up began.  American pros Sean Winter and David Peters played for almost 14 hours in the event and the heads-up for a little over one and a half hours before the poker room closed.

The Single Day HR saw a total of 75 entries and a total of 7,500,000 chips were in play. The action began at 2 pm local time in Bahamas with 100,000 starting chips. Some of the popular faces to sign-up for this event were Irish pro Steve O’Dwyer, Joe McKeehen, SHR Bowl V winner Isaac Haxton, German high-stakes grinder Steffen Sontheimer, Matthias Eibinger and 2018 GPI Player of the Year Alex Foxen.

The Final Table was reached over three and a half hours before the day ended, when Erik Seidel, 3^rd in All Time Money List, busted 10^th place for $45,020. The first to bust on the Final Table was Byron Kaverman at 9^th place for $51,320. After this, the next six eliminations happened in a span of little over an hour. The last to get eliminated for the day was Jack Salter in 3^rd place for $230,500.

After a few hands in heads-up, Peters had accumulated a huge lead of over 8:1 chip count over Winter, but we saw two huge double ups for Winter, who managed to gain the lead and further increased it to gain a comfortable chip lead. Peters managed to double up once later when he shoved on the button with Ks 10s against Winter’s 9d 7s and hit a flush on the turn.

The unofficial Day 2 will begin at Level 22 with the blinds at 60K/120K/120K (big blind ante), and is scheduled to take place some time this week. The 2^nd place will earn $352,040 while the champion to emerge from this event will receive a pay-out of $495,210 (~INR 3.49 Crores).
