47 players turned out for this year's PCA (Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure) $100,000 Super High Roller event, easily topping last year's total of 30 entrants. That's a pretty amazing number by itself, but add another 12 re-entries and you have a total prize pool of well over $5 million.

The top eight players will get paid out in this event - here is a breakdown of the payouts:

1. $2,003,480
2. $1,259,320
3. $744,140
4. $543,800
5. $400,700
6. $286,200
7. $257,580
8. $228,960

As you can imagine, many of the top names in poker, including Daniel Negreanu, Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey, turned out for this event.

Tom Dwan has been bounced from the tournament, but both Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu are still alive. As of this moment, 24 of the original 59 entries are still alive in the tournament.

Scott Seiver is the current chip leader of the tournament, while Vanessa Selbst and Antonio Esfandari are trailing just behind.
