Watson Leads Final Table; Gregg Looking To Make Third Time a Charm
Welcome back to the sixth and final day of the 2016 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $5,300 Main Event. Canadian poker star Mike Watson sits atop the final six players, and there is an $833,260 top prize up for grabs, but many eyes are solely fixed on Tony Gregg, who is making his third trip to the PCA Main Event final table after finishing second in 2009 and sixth in 2012.
Watson will enter the final day with 6.585 million in chips in the lead, and Gregg is his closest competitor with 5.68 million in second place.
Round out the final six are Vladimir Troyanovskiy, Toby Lewis, Phillip McAllister, and Randy Kritzer. Lewis is the only former European Poker Tour champion remaining, and Kritzer, a neurosurgeon from North Carolina, is the only true amateur.
The final six players reached this point in the event following the elimination of Australia's Ken Demlakian in seventh place on Wednesday night. Demlakian pocketed $110,220, and all of the remaining competitors have locked up at least $153,920.
The cards are scheduled to be in the air at 1 p.m. local time, but due to a one-hour delay because hole cards are being shown, coverage will begin at 2 p.m. Stay tuned right here to PokerNews to follow along as the event works its way to the 13th winner in its long and storied history.
