William Reynolds Wins PokerStars Caribbean Adventure

The ever popular PokerStars Caribbean Adventure came to a dramatic end recently with William Reynolds taking home the $576,240 first-place prize money. After taking nine hours to complete the final table Reynolds made the grade over eight other players in the Atlantis Resort and Hotel on the NAPT final table. Nearly $1.7 million USD was at stake and all the final table players were hoping to win it.

Tobias Reinkemeier was the front runner in the crowd at the start with over one million in his kit. Reinkemeier increases 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. It a grand final the two had a massive all in confrontation. The final hand came over 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 earned the title of the PCA High Roller Event honestly.
