After 16 hours of play, the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event final table concluded this morning with Dominik Panka as the champion! The Polish pro brought the 4th largest stack to the final table of eight, and he defeated Mike "Timex" McDonald, who had a fantastic chance of becoming the first player ever to win two EPT Main Event titles, heads-up to claim his first EPT title and $1.4 million in prize money!
Panka and McDonald made a three-way deal with Isaac baron. $100,000 was left to play for and (as you can see below) all players received $1m+ each and Baron took down the second biggest cash.
