Michel Dattano records a top position at the MCA Main Event $PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $10,300. The event was hosted by Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas, and it saw two Portuguese players compete in the top two positions for the main prize and the title.
A total of 889 participants entered the competition to create a prize pool of $8,623,300. The tournament has returned to the Bahamas after four years. The grand prize was $50,000 and the title. Dattani stayed locked in for $1,316,963, and Neves claimed $1,183,037. It was the elimination of Artur Martirosian that brought both the champions to the final table.
Day 6 saw the top 6 players return to the table and check if lady fortune favored them. Jamil Wakil was the first to be eliminated for $307,500. He was shortly followed by Cristoph Csik from the US. Csik took home $399,800 to make way for the elimination.
The bottom three left the table by the end of the fifth day. Jonathan Little claimed $139,900 for the 9th position, meaning that everyone else stayed above that mark for a much larger winning share to their names. Taylor Paur set his hands at $181,900 at the 8th position, and Alexandros Kolonias from Greece pocketed $236,500.
That was all for Day 5. The next day began with a similar zeal and no fall in the energy level.
Alexandre Raymond stood at the 4th position for a prize of $519,600. The Canadian poker star then saw Artur Mortirosian leave the table at the bottom of the top three list for a prize of $677,400.
Neves held on to being the top chip holder for a fairly long time; however, Dattani replaced him with his pocket aces for a response to pocket kings.
Martirosian missed a chance to create poker history. He could have registered a win at EPT and PCA Main Event had he not fallen short by two positions. The 2021 EPT Sochi Main Event is still ringing bells with his name for a reward of $325,000. This is in addition to many titles and awards that he won so far in his career under the screen name – mararthur1.
