Who Will Capture the $100,000 PCA Super High Roller Title and Over $1.5 Million?
There are just six players returning to the table for the third and final day of the $100,000 PCA Super High Roller at the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in The Bahamas. The majority of the $4.5 million prizepool is still up for grabs with the winner walking home with a cool $1,545,080 and the coveted PokerStars trophy.
A total of 49 entries were recorded in this event and Mike Watson has been the clear chip leader over the course of the first two days. The Canadian poker pro from Newfoundland finished Day 1 with 830,000 chips and will be returning for Day 3 with 3,015,000 chips and the odds-on favorite. Watson already has over $16.6 million in earnings on his poker resume but another seven-figure score at one of the world's top poker spots would push him even further up the ranks.
He is followed closely by two Spaniards Juan Pardo (2,200,000) and Adrian Mateos (2,035,000) who have plenty to show for on their poker resumes as well. Not far in the distance are a couple of American high rollers, Seth Davies (1,870,000) and Isaac Haxton (1,645,000), who are also very well known on the poker circuit. Rounding out the remaining players is another Canadian, Daniel Dvoress (590,000), who will be looking to spin up his short stack.

The action is slated to get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time inside the Baha Mar Resort & Casino convention center. The blinds will resume on Level 18 at 25,000/50,000 with a 50,000 big blind ante. The levels will continue to be 60 minutes in length until just three players remain where the levels will be cut in half. Each player has locked up over $320,000 thus far but they will have their sights set on the first-place prize.
