At least 200 players are competing on Day 1a of the #PCA2015 $10k Main Event today including Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira De Melo, Team PokerStars Pro Online's Roy Bhasin, Naoya Kihara, Alex Millar, Marc-Andre Ladouceur and Isaac Haxton plus Team PokerStars Pros George Danzer, Leo Margets, Chris Moneymaker and Vanessa Selbst. Today's field also includes several players who qualified just a handful of $$ plus Scottish player Luke Stirling who is here for free after winning a Team Pro Online competition.
Overall more than 330 players have qualified for this year's event. Today's field includes last season's champion Dominik Panka. He beat Canadian EPT Dortmund champion Mike McDonald heads-up for a $1,423,096 first prize. There were 1,031 players creating a $10m+ prize pool.
As well as their cash prizes, the winners of the $10k Main Event, the $25k High Roller and $100k Super High Roller will also receive luxury watches from Swiss watch brand SLYDE, the official watch sponsor for the 2015 PCA.
American Roger Sippl is leading the final four in the record-breaking PCA 2015 $100k Super High Roller. Also still in: Steve O`Dwyer, Bryn Kenney and Sorel Mizzi.
The tourney broke all PCA records for Super High Rollers, as well as the PokerStars record for a $100k tourney. There were 50 unique players, with 66 entries overall, generating a $6,402,000 prize pool. The winner will get $1,872,580, along with a $15k Steel and Diamond SLYDE watch. All four left in are guaranteed at least $659,400 - it's an amazing performance by EPT regular Bryn Kenney, who has already won more than $660k in the last three weeks after making two final tables in Las Vegas high roller events just before Christmas.
Last season German pro Fabian Quoss defeated a 46-strong field to win $1,629,940.
