Barry ShulmanDay 5 at the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure was a short affair today in the Bahamas. Play began at noon EST with 24 players, and by 6 p.m. the final table of eight was set. Headlining the final table is Card Player’s CEO Barry Shulman (pictured right). He will take 6,805,000 into the final table tomorrow. Shulman is in third chip-position and in a good spot to repeat the success he found in London when he won the World Series of Poker Europe main event and $1,266,582.

The two players ahead of Shulman are the chip leader heading into tomorrow, Ryan D’Angelo (10,090,000), and Tyler Reiman (9,350,000). Reiman gained most of his chips in a huge hand he played against European Poker Tour founder John Duthie (see hand below). Duthie was crippled after the hand and busted out of the tournament in 12th place shortly thereafter. Other notable eliminations today included Robert Mizrachi (22nd place), Jeff Madsen (19th place), Praz Bansi (18th place), and Wayne Bentley (16th place), who had been among the chip leaders since day 1.

The winner of tomorrow’s final table will take home $2.2 million, and each final-table contestant will take home at least $201,300. The final table will begin at noon EST tomorrow and Card Player will bring you live updates, chip counts, and photos throughout the day. You can also watch the final table on the EPT Live video feed.
