It's no surprise for these Super High Rollers to start a little late, and the 2018 PCA $100K is no exception.
Players are still filtering into the tournament area, but there are already quite a few lingering about including Scott Seiver, Steve O'Dwyer, Stefan Sontheimer, Mikita Badziakouski, Orpen Kisacikoglu, Stephen Chidwick, Christopher Krux, Daniel Dvoress, and Stefan Schillhabel.
Cards will be in the air shortly, so stay tuned!
The $100,000 PCA 2018 Super High Roller is rich in history. The tournament has been annually held in The Bahamas since 2011, which is when Eugene Katchalov topped a field of 38 entries to win the inaugural event for $1.5 million.
Former champions include some of the true legends from both live and online arenas with Viktor Blom, Scott Seiver, Fabian Quoss, Steve O'Dwyer, Bryn Kenney and Jason Koon.
