There are 380 players who survived the opening flights of the 2009 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. The top 199 players will be awarded prize money and the money bubble should break sometime this evening. Felipe Ramos from Brazil is the current chipleader with 360,100.

“It’s all about your table draw,” one pro once told me about the key to surviving Day 2 and advancing to Day 3 of a major tournament.

I took a quick glance around the tournament room inside the Imperial Ballroom and noticed several tough tables. Here’s a run down…

Table 2: Eric Liu (168,500) and Jon “ApeStyles” Van Fleet (122,600)

Table 4: Team PokerStars ProTom McEvoy (65,900), David Benefield (93,400), and Cliff “JohnnyBax” Josephy (24,800)
