The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure came to a dramatic end recently with William Reynolds taking home the first-place prize money of $576,240. After taking nine hours to complete the final table Reynolds made the grade over eight other players on the NAPT final table in the Atlantis Resort and Hotel.
Front runner in the crowd at the start with over one million in his kit was Tobias Reinkemeier. He increased his lead after dismissing Dimitry Stelmak in eighth place. Then Matt Marafoti was sent out from seventh place after losing a flip to Reynolds.
The remaining six players settled into a quiet ride, until Will Molson challenged Reinkemeier in a sizable prize. Molson held against Reinkemeier saving Molson from his ultimate end and giving him the chip lead. The leader Reinkemeier lost it in sixth place when his pocket eights ran into Reynolds' pocket kings.
Lisa Hamilton and Michiel Brummelhuis fought it out for additional drama, until Hamilton lost to Molson. Adolfo Vaeza busted in third place with Brummelhuis coming in fourth. It was set for Molson and Reynolds to go head to head, the second time for Molson at the High Roller Event.
Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier took second place at the event last year with a $228,000 prize. This year’s second prize was at least a hundred thousand dollars more than that.
Reynolds had the lead when the tournament began with 2.45 million compared with Molson's 1.75 million.
In a grand final, the two had a massive all in confrontation. The final hand came more than three hours after the start of the one on one action. Earning well over half a million dollars Reynolds held his trophy high, noting he had worked hard for the prize and honestly and truly earned the title of the PCA High Roller Event.
