Day 1 of $50,000 PCA 7-Handed Begins in The Bahamas
The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure continues with another $50,000 buy-in event at the luxurious Baha Mar in The Bahamas. Action gets underway at 7:00 p.m. ET for Event #19: $50,000 7-Handed with unlimited reentries.
This two-day event sees each player begin with a stack of 150,000 chips and blinds starting at 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante. Levels are 30 minutes long, with a scheduled 20-minute break every three levels of action. Play will conclude for the day after 10 levels with late registration and reentries remaining open until the end of Level 12 on Day 2, which begins at 2 p.m. Thursday.
The first $50,000 buy-in event of the PCA series saw New Zealand’s David Yan take down Event #14: $50,000 6-Handed for a top prize of $485,690.
Each player will receive four time bank cards, regardless of the time of entry. One additional time bank will be distributed to every player at the start of each even-numbered level (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.). The shot clock will be in play from the start of the tournament with 20 seconds to act preflop while registration is open and 30 seconds to act preflop once it is closed. All later streets will be 30 seconds in length throughout the tournament.
The PokerNews live reporting team will be on hand with live updates throughout the event as the road to crowning the next PCA champion begins.
