Welcome back to the PokerStars Championship Panama $10,300 High Roller, which yesterday attracted 101 entrants (77 unique + 24 re-entries) to the Sortis Casino here in Panama City. That number could even go up as registration is open right up until the start of Day 2, which will kick off at Noon local time.

Right now, 43 players are slated to return with Canadian Sam Greenwood, 28, and his stack of 316,300 leading the way. Others returning with big stacks include Ecuador’s Pedro Idrovo (305,200), Bulgaria’s Aleks Dimitrov (287,700), EPT Prague High Roller runner-up Patrick Serda (243,600), and PokerStars Team Pro Felipe Ramos (231,400), who round out the top five.

Others still in contention include Team Pro Leo Fernandez (148,600), PokerStars Championship Panama $25,000 High Roller champ Stephen Chidwick (144,800), 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Ryan Riess (115,000), and the short stack Anton Astapau (22,400).

This is the third five-figure-buy-in tournament held during the Championship's 11-day run at the world-class Sortis Hotel, Spa & Casino. Ben Tollerene, who eliminated everyone at the final table, topped a field of 33 entries to win the $50,000 Super High Roller for over a half million dollars in cash.

A couple days later, Chidwick took down the $25,000 single-day event, outlasting a field of 44 to move his total career earnings across the $7-million mark.

The prize pool for this tournament is closing in on $1 million, and we’ll be sure to bring you official numbers and payouts just as soon as they’re released.

Cards will be in the air in just over an hour, so stay tuned as we bring you all the action and eliminations from Day 2 of the PokerStars Championship Panama $10,300 High Roller.
