The 2017 Caribbean Poker Party Introduces the $25,500 MILLIONS Super High Roller
With the $10,300 MILLIONS High Roller wrapping up last night, it is now time to begin the $25,500 MILLIONS Super High Roller at the 2017 Caribbean Poker Party Festival. The action is set to begin at 2:00 P.M. local time at the Melia Caribe Tropical resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The event was originally scheduled to begin yesterday but has been reduced to just a 2-day event. The players will still begin with a 1,000,000 chip starting stack with the levels now being 40-minutes in length. Late registration is expected to remain open until Day 2, at which point the players will play down to a winner.
The new plan for Day 1 is to play 10 levels before the remaining players will bag and tag to return on Day 2. There may still be some changes based on how many players are registered. The prizepool is still guaranteed at $1,000,000 and many of the poker world's top players will be here to battle it out.
