39 joueurs ont décidé de s'inscrire juste avant le Jour 2 du Main Event PokerStars Championship Bahamas portant l'affluence à 738 entrants (contre 928 joueurs sur l'ultime édition du PCA en janvier 2016). Les participants de ce premier PokerStars Championship ont généré un prizepool de 3,3 millions de dollars.
Les 125 survivants du Jour 2 sont assurés de toucher un minimum de 7 260$ puisque la bulle a sauté avec l'élimination de Noah Boeken en 144e position. William Kassouf, Marc-Andre Ladouceur, Maria Ho, Mustafa Kanit, Jason Koon, Vanessa Selbst, Daniel Negreanu et Victor Ramdin avaient été éliminés avant l'accès aux places payées.
Parmi les joueurs éliminés dans l'argent qui ne reviendront pas, on retrouvele Français Hugo Boucenna. Qualifié pour 5€, le membre du Club Poker a trouvé un superbe retour sur investissement ! Eugene Katchalov, Govert Metaal, Justin Bonomo et Mohsin Charania ont aussi fait le min-cash sans parvenir à emballer des jetons pour le Jour 3.
Aaron Paul ne gagnera pas non plus le premier prix de 480,012$. La star de Breaking Bad n'a pas tenu les 6 niveaux du Jour 2, éliminé sur un 60-40 en sa faveur par Dan Colman. A 9 places de l'argent.
Nick Maimone, vainqueur du High Roller PCA 2016 pour presque 1 million de dollars, a lui connu une superbe journée et emballé 689 000 jetons. Il devance Dan Colman (620,000) et des joueurs comme Pascal Lefrancois (484,500), Mike McDonald (436,000), le Français Sylvain Loosli (374,000), Byron Kaverman (286,000), Cliff Josephy (242,500), Jason Mercier (281,000), Barry Greenstein (95,000) ou Jaime Staples (211,500). Davidi Kitai (44,000), Adrian Mateos Diaz (200,000), Chance Kournuth (98,000), Ryan Riess (248,000) et Rex Clinkscales (428,000) n'ont pas dit leur dernier alors que le field promet une énorme bataille pour le titre.

Gaelle Baumann was faced with a tough call on a full board for a big portion of her stack in the penultimate hand of the night. On a board of 
, the pot was only worth 40,000 before the river, but Baumann's bet of 17,000 was raised by Aslan Tcechoev to 77,700 as he moved all-in.
Baumann took her time, but eventually called, and Tcechoev showed 
. Baumann turned over 
and that was a good call. She has waited right until the end of the day, but made the big hands count with the right pay at the right time, and will bag up a good stack to take into Day 3.

Both Gabriel Attiave and Govert Metaal were short after the bubble, and each got their respective stacks in preflop while Mike Vela and another player had side action.
A bet from Vela on a 
flop got the other active player to fold, and then all three players tabled their hands.
Metaal: 
Attiave: 
Vela: 
Vela paired his ten on the flop to take the lead, and he held it when the appeared on the turn followed by the 
on the river. With that, Vela scored the double elimination.

With several short stacks just hanging on hoping to survive the bubble, the atmosphere was tense in the Imperial Ballroom of the Atlantis resort. Just one more player would go empty-handed, but who would it be? Davidi Kitai, one of the shortest players in the tournament, was eyeing the other stacks, other shorties walked around as well to see where they ranked.
Over on Table 2, Belgian player Tom Janssens raised the cutoff and Dutchman Noah Boeken in the big blind shoved for 15,800. Janssens did not hesitate and called.
Action was once again paused, waiting for the other tables to finish. "I have a very bad hand" Boeken admitted, but he did know he was in front as Janssens had admitted what he had already.
It turned out two more players would end up all-in that hand, but it was Boeken versus Janssens who showed first.
Noah Boeken:
Tom Janssens: 
With the cameras buzzing and the onlookers holding their breath, the dealer burned a card and placed the first three community cards just above the divider line in the middle of the table: 
.
So far, things were looking good for Boeken but the turn would change that. Janssens asked for a six to spice things up but instead got the 
, which still made things interesting.
Jason Mercier predicted the three to come and so it did: on the river to give Janssens a wheel and Boeken's dream of cashing the first ever PokerStars Championship were crushed.
The former EPT Copenhagen and Master Classics of Poker champion could still chop a min cash if one or two of the other players that were at risk would bust, but he would not get so lucky. Both shorties doubled and Boeken ended up as the pure and only bubble.

Donys Ivan Agnelli Rojas from Venezuela raised from early position and saw short stack Tom Thomas shove for 29,500 from the big blind. Rojas called and play was halted, awaiting the outcome of two other all-in and call situations over on other tables.
The two other big confrontations ended up with a double for the shorter stack in the hand, so Thomas' tournament life was on the line with everything at risk. It was time for the players to table their cards:
Donys Ivan Agnelli Rojas:
Tom Thomas: 
With poker media, a lot of players, onlookers and the television crew all surrounding the table, the dealer began to deal the community cards.
The 
flop and turn appeared rather quickly and meant no harm to Thomas. The on the river, however, did and with an intense wry smile, he walked away from the table.
Ace on the river did Thomas in, no cash for him. 144 players remain, still hand for hand as the tournament needs to lose one more player before the money stage is reached.
