Prize Pool Information Announced
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
What seemed to be unlikely after the first two starting days, based on the number of entries, has culminated with a strong turnout during the first two levels on Day 2. The 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) $10,300 Main Event drew 249 new entries and that boosted the overall attendance to 889 entries, which generated a prize pool of $8,623,300.
The top 127 finishers will walk away with a payday of at least $17,600 at the luxurious Baha Mar Resort in The Bahamas and the final 11 players will lock up a six-figure payday. Both the winner and the runner-up can look forward to at least $1 million in prize money and the eventual champion walks away with the golden Main Event trophy and $1.5 million for the efforts.
