Big Money on the Line in Final Day of $250,000 Super High Roller Championships
Most people come to the Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas to kick back, put their feet up, and relax, but today there will be none of that with millions of dollars on the line. When the final six players take their seat in the Caribbean Poker Party $250,000 Super High Roller Championships, they will be battling for some life-changing money.
Coming into the day, German high roller Steffen Sontheimer will hold the chip lead with a smashing 11,035,000 chips. Most people will remember Sontheimer from winning the 2017 Poker Masters but he has continued to be at the top of his game, accumulating nearly $9 million in career earnings. Not far in the distance is American poker pro David Peters with 9,310,000 and he's been at the top of the leaderboard for pretty much the entire first two days.
The 34-player field was filled with the best poker players in the world so it is no wonder that the final table is also stacked. Sean Winter, Mikita Badziakouski, partypoker pro Isaac Haxton, and Nick Petrangelo complete the final table. Petrangelo will enter the day on the short stack with 1,100,000 but with still nearly 20 big blinds to work with, it's anyone's game.

Unfortunately, two players will be going home empty-handed as there will be just four places being paid. It's going to be a significant money bubble since a min-cash is worth $700,000 and the winner...he's taking home over $3,685,000! The action is scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m. local time with the live stream airing on a 30-minute delay with hole cards. The live reporting will also be on a 30-minute delay to avoid spoiling any of the action.
The blinds will resume on level 16 at 35,000/70,000 and a 70,000 big blind ante. As agreed by the players, a full big blind ante will remain in play until heads-up is reached, at which point the blinds will be reduced to 30 minutes with no ante. With so many deep stacks in play, there is no telling when this might end, therefore the players will make a decision on when to take a dinner break.
