Entrepreneur and Poker Player Cary Katz climbs back from 7 big blinds to beat out Daniel Negreanu, Issac Haxton, Bryn Kenney, Ivan Luca, Justin Bonomo, Sam Greenwood at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Super High Roller. This is not the first $100k buy in tournament win for Katz, but it is his first EPT win. Even after this almost $1.5 million win, the entrepreneur and creator of Poker Central still does not consider himself a professional poker player. To celebrate his big win, Katz rushes off to catch the College Football National Championship game hoping to root his Georgia Bulldogs to victory! Will Katz get two victories in one night?
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Orpen Kisacikoglu called out of the small blind. Nick Petrangelo three-bet shoved for 187,000 and Thorel made the call. Kisacikoglu took a moment before tossing his cards into the muck.

The board ran out and Thorel's pair held to eliminate Petrangelo and end play on Day 1.
