Sometimes it’s blatantly obvious a final table is going to be stacked from top to bottom. This was definitely the case with the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $100,000 Super High Roller No Limit Holdem event. On the final day of the event, 8 of the world’s best gathered in the Bahamas to battle it out for a first place prize of $1.25 million.

30 players joined the massive tournament. Added to the prize pool were two optional rebuys: Jonathan Duhamel and Bill Perkins each put up another $100,000 to continue in the tournament after they busted. Isaac Haxton lead all players heading into Day 2, but he was unable to make it into the final day. Do you think he went back to his hotel room and used the PokerStars install on his computer after busting?

Galen Hall enjoyed the overnight chip lead heading into the final day with just 7 players left to beat out. Hall was just a year removed from winning the PCA Main Event, beating out talented online tournament specialist Chris “GettinDaize” Oliver and taking down the tournament for $2.3 million.

PokerStars had ample representation at the final table with Humberto Brenes, Daniel “KidPoker” Negreanu, Duhamel and high stakes cash gamer Viktor “Isildur1” Blom. Blom is, of course, famous for playing some of the biggest pots in online casino USA history. Rounding out the final table were three sharks in their own right: Dan Shak, Mike “Timex” McDonald, and Scott Seiver.

Unfortunately for Seiver, McDonald, and Brenes, the final table didn’t go too well for them. They busted out just before the money with the final five players getting paid. Once in the money, Negreanu and Duhamel were the first two out, leaving Shak, Blom and Hall to their three-handed battle.

The day didn’t belong to Hall either as his 99 ran into Blom’s AA in an unfortunate cooler spot which put Blom in the lead going into heads-up play. Shak was never able to close the distance and had to settle for 2nd place. This tournament served as Blom’s coming out party as it was his first major live tournament win and a big one at that.

1 – Viktor Blom – $1,250,000
2 – Dan Shak – $846,700
3 – Galen Hall – $470,400
4 – Jonathan Duhamel – $313,600
5 – Daniel Negreanu – $250,900
