There's some serious action at the Atlantis Resort and Casino on Paradise Island as the 2012 PCA is now alive and kicking! The first day of the Super High Roller tournament brought a field 32 players (In fact it was 30 players, but two re-entered the tournament) who could afford the buy-in of $100,000, which created a total prize pool of $3,136,000 and a first prize of $1,254,400.
After 8 levels of play, 12 players had been eliminated and the day was over. Isaac Haxton leads the pack with a stack of 1,240,000. In second place is no one else than everyone's favorite Swede Viktor "Isildur1" Blom with 875,000 chips, and about 100k behind him is Erik Seidel.
