Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier wins the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, and $2 million.

Hafiz Khan eliminated in second place, winning $1,094,976
End of the road--That's it. The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is done. At the end, it was a bluff gone awry for Hafiz Khan in a brief heads-up joust. ElkY, with the chip lead, raised 500,000 pre-flop; Hafiz pushed all in from the big blind. ElkY dwelt for a moment, but not quite as long as you might think for a $2 million decision. Obviously he had some read of Hafiz and called, flipping 8-8. Khan was caught and meekly tabled 9-3. The board bricked and ElkY's eights were good. The Team PokerStars Pro member from France is the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure champion. Bien, bien ElkY!

• Back in action, ElkY playing strong--After a long break, the players are back. In opening actiion, ElkY slow-played an ace on a JAA flop and pulled more than one million out of Khan's stack. [5:27]

• You're missing nothing-- The final two are decided but they're taking a protracted break in preparation for the heads-up dual. We'll have all the action when it resumes.

• Heads up-- Two players remain for the money, with Team PokerStars Pro's Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier taking the chip advantage over Hafiz Khan. The approximate counts are 13 million for ElkY, 9 million for Khan. The money is being deposited on the table, and we're shaping up for a big showdown.

Kris Kuykendall is eliminated in third place, winning $800,000

• Kris krushed-- The spirited Caribbean adventure of Kris Kuydenhall is over. He was down to his last 1.5 million and was unfortunate not to double up moments before. But then Hafiz Khan raised his blind for the hundredth time and Kris had to make the all-in call with Kd-Qs. He wasn't totally out of it whe Hafiz showed Ah-7h, but the flop was unkind. It came 4d-4h-6h, removing a couple of Kris's outs. Neither the non-heart king nor queen came on the turn or river and ace-high was good for Khan.

• Hopkins hopes--Craig Hopkins, the fifth placed finisher here in the Bahamas, has returned to the tournament room to root for one of his final table nemesis. It would be imprudent to say who at the moment, but it's good to see him, and his wife Lindsay, back around the table as they play down to a winner.
  [4.45pm]

• Double-up? No. Chop it--Kris Kuykendall finds a great spot for a potential double-up. He gets his last 1.5 million in with A-Kd and is called by Hafiz Khan with A-5. The board, however, thwarts Kuykendall when it comes Q-A-Q-A-10, giving both players aces full. They chop the blinds and antes, which is not exactly what Kris would have hoped for given his dominance of Khan's hand.
  [4.35pm]

David Pham eliminated in fourth place for $600,000

• Dragon slayed--It took five days before that headline was for real. Now it happens. ElkY raised to 400,000 preflop and Pham called in the big blind with Q5. The flop came KhQh5d. Both players checked. When the Jd came on the turn, Pham checked, ElkY bet 700,000, andand Pham raised all-in for 2,000,000 more. ElkY called with Ad2d and spiked his diamond on he river. Pham is out in fourth place, earning $600,000.

• If you need a break...--Check out what it's like to be a Supernova in the Bahamas at Gone fishin' with the Supernovas. [4:15pm]

• Back in action--We're playing again. Counts have been updated at the PCA Chip Counts page. [4:08pm]

All Level 27 news will be updated here. The blinds and antes are 60,000/120,000/15,000. If you're refreshing on a regular basis, the latest information will be at the top. All Level 26 action can be found HERE.

• Kris continues to climb--On the last hand before the end of the level, all four players go to the flop, calling Hafiz's 325,000 pre-flop bet. The flop comes Jh-5d-2h, checked all round, then the Qh comes on the turn. Again, checked all round, but David Pham bets 600,000 on the 2c river. ElkY and Hafiz fold but Kris calls and shows A-Q, which is good enough to beat Pham's Q-9. The ace plays. That's the end of the level, with chip counts to come.

• Short-stack fightback--Kris Kuykendall is battling his way back into contention here. The latest sizeable hand earned him in excess of a million chips, when his ace-three diamonds picked up a flush draw on the turn and made top pair on the river, which turned out to be good enough against a disgruntled Hafiz Khan.

• ElkY taking it easy--ElkY is the big stack here, with more than 10,000,000 and he's flexing his muscles whenever he gets the chance. Most recently, Hafiz Khan raised to 325,000 from under-the-gun, and both ElkY and Kris called. The flop was interesting: 9h-10h-4d and ElkY stabbed 450,000 at it. Khan called. The river was also had potential: Ah. ElkY tossed in 775,000 and Hafiz passed, very reluctantly.

• Million dollar pot--There haven't been a lot of big hands since these four reconvened, and even a million dollar pot is not that impressive given the chip counts. One of those just went to Hafiz Khan, however, when his kings and queens beat David Pham's kings and sevens. The board was paired, which slowed the action, but Pham's river bet of 700,000 ensured a seven-figure pot.

• Back in action--We back in action at Level 27. The blinds are starting to get a tad expensive, so the final four are going to have to get to work. [2:36pm]

• Final four--As we begin level 27, there are four players remaining. Their names and stacks:

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier -- 9,551,000

• Level ends--Level 25 is in the books. Chip counts coming soon. [12:25pm]

Christian Harder is eliminated in seventh place, winning $200,000

• ElkY runs good--Just a few minutes after beating pocket jacks with AK, ElkY has made jacks hold. Christian Harder pushed all-in with 7s7d. ElkY made the quick call with JhJc. Harder never caught up and is out in seventh place, winning $200,000. That pot very well may have put the Team PokerStars Pro in the chip lead. [12:05pm]

Richard Fohrenbach is eliminated in eighth place, winning $150,000

• Yep, just the one time--Ricky Fohrenbach bellowed "One time!" when he had jacks in the previous hand against Joe Elpayaa's tens. But it was just one time, because two hands later, Fohrenbach found jacks again against ElkY's ace-king. They got it all in pre-flop but there was a king on the flop and Fohrenbach never caught up again. He's out, becoming the eighth placed finisher, and going home with $150,000. We're down to seven, with Pham still leading, but ElkY breathing down his neck, with an approximate $6.8 million.

• One time!--It's a raise to 160,000 from Joe Elpayaa and a snap all-in from Ricky Fohrenbach. Back to Elpayaa, he barely thinks before announcing a call for 950,000 more. Ricky had jacks, Elpayaa tens. By the river, the jacks had made a heart flush and Ricky is up to about 2.2 million. [11:54am]

• Cagey--As predicted, it's been a tight start to the final table. No one is under any immediate pressure, and the all-in merchants have been weeded out of this field. The final eight are happy to make pot-sized bets and play real poker. If anyone has caught the eye it's been Hafiz Khan, who has been making a few moves. He picked up a pot of about 400,000 from Kris Kuykendall with a bet of the Kd turn, pairing the board. Then he picked off a probable squeeze play from Joe Elpayaa, moving all-in after "bigegypt" had reraised to 625,000 pre-flop.
  [11.45am]

• Faces of the final table--Here are the people fighting for the $2 million first prize.

• Silent morning--After a week of constant screaming and noise, the Atlantis Grand Ballroom is a little different this morning. The live action hasn't started up yet and the final table is still waking up. Right now, it's possible to hear one's self think. That, of course,is bound to change. The players at the final table have some rowdy sweaters who are bound to shake off the cobwebs soon. [11:24am]

• Watch it live--Of course we appreciate you being here. However, if you have access to a good internet signal (and your boss doesn't mind), you might as well watch this as it happens. Check out EPT Live for real-time coverage and commentary.

• Dragon's den--This is David Pham's house right now. With a commanding chip lead, a wealth of final table experience, and a morning spent taking aggression pills, Pham is playing the role of the bully. As always, nobody wants to be the first out, or give up too many chips while some shorter stacks are still around. Still, it's only a matter of time before somebody starts looking Pham up.
  

The final table of the 2008 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure is scheduled to begin soon. You can follow the action here or at EPT Live. In the meantime, here's a look at the people who will be fighing for the $2 million first prize.

Seat 1: Kris Kuykendall, 25 - PokerStars qualifier - 2,150,000 chips

Kris, who turned 25 yesterday (January 9), graduated with a business degree from the University of Cincinatti and coaches wrestling in his spare time. He has only been playing poker for two years and turned pro after six months. He specialises in online cash games - 2/4 and 5/10 No Limit - and when he won his seat to the PCA, it was the first satellite he had ever played. The PCA is also his first ever live tournament but he says he found the transition from online to live pretty easy. This is his biggest result to date. He added: "I've had an up and down tournament so far. "

Seat 2: Christian Harder, 20, USA - PokerStars qualifier - 905,000 chips

Christian Harder, a student from Annapolis, Maryland, is playing in his first live big buy-in event. After studying business last semester at Salisbury University, he decided to take this semester off to play poker. He's getting off to a pretty good start after qualifying on PokerStars in a $650 multi-table satellite. Known as "charder30" online, Harder is no stranger to tournament poker. He spends most of his time playing the biggest buy-in tournaments online with $8ok in a $1k event his biggest win to date. Although the shortest stack at the table, Harder still feels confident going into final table play.

Seat 3: David Pham, 41, USA - PokerStars qualifier - 7,390,000 chips

David 'The Dragon' Pham enjoyed having odds on his side at an early age, when the 17-year-old was one of only 46 (out of 145) people to survive a boat journey fleeing his native Vietnam for the United States. He joined the cleaning business of his cousin Men 'The Master' Nguyen, who had registered some success at the Las Vegas poker tables. He studied the game under his cousin and learned well from the master, as he was soon wiping the floor with his opponents at the table. His breakthrough year was 2000, when his consistent performances saw him named Cardplayer's Player of the Year. The following year saw him claim his first WSOP bracelet on the $2,000 SHOE event, and he would add his second in a NL Hold'Em shootout event in 2006. He's had five WPT final tables in all and two WSOP bracelets. Pham is considered one of the most aggressive pros in the game and lies 23rd on the all-time money list - with $5.4 million in career earnings.

Seat 4: Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, 26, France- Team PokerStars Pro - 3,060,000 chips

ElkY was a famous professional gamer until a friend suggested he try his luck at poker seven years ago. He quickly proved his skills by qualifying for the WSOP two years running. He joined Team PokerStars in 2006. Rarely without his trademark sunglasses, poker has proved a profitable career switch for the young Frenchman. In EPT Season 3, he cashed three times including his second-place finish in Copenhagen for €309,000. ElkY is a prolific online player and said: "With gaming, I could practice 12 hours a day, but if I lost the game, the value would be zero. However, in poker every hour has some benefit".

Seat 5: Joseph Elpayaa, 19, USA - PokerStars qualifier - 2,755,000 chips

Joespeh "bigegypt" Elpayaa, 19, from Chicago, has played a few big live events in Europe - including last year's EPT Grand Final and the Irish Open - but this is his first big cash. Online, he has had a lot of success and says he has won "several " $100k prizes in various events. Joseph was in the top 1% of those who took the ACT college exams last year but he only attended for a week before deciding to focus on poker. He learned poker in home games with his brother Adam and friends. His preference is cash games but he says "being deep in a tournament beats anything else."

Seat 6: Craig Hopkins, 33, UK - PokerStars qualifier - 1,770,000 chips

Craig, a professional sports bettor from Chesterfield in the UK, has been playing poker for years with friends but only four years online. He played in last season's EPT Grand Final but didn't cash. He also qualified with PokerStars for last summer's WSOP but couldn't go because it clashed with his honeymoon. He said: "My wife Lindsey is here supporting me. She's been brilliant. I got made redundant from work two years ago and decided to take up sports betting full-time. A lot of girlfriends wouldn't be happy about that but she has been really supportive." Craig has also had tons of support from friends and family back home - some friends even had champagne delivered to him at the Atlantis. His friends now call him "The Apple" after a picture of him eating fruit appeared on blondepoker on the first day of the PCA.

Seat 7: Richard Fohrenbach, 20, USA - PokerStars qualifier - 1,855,000 chips

College student Richard, from Milford, Connecticut, says he played around 20 Double Shoot Out satellites for the PCA before finally winning a seat in October. "I came second in one, and then won one later the same day." He said he doesn't consider himself a pro but is taking some time off from studying at Boston College to focus on the game. "This is by far my biggest win to date. I've only ever cashed once in a live tournament before this, and that was for £2,000." Richard has already bought in to EPT Dortmund at the end of January, as well as the Season 4 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo.

Seat 8: Hafiz Khan, 33, USA - PokerStars qualifier - 2,560,000 chips

Former software analyst Hafiz Khan, from Stockton, Northern California, has been playing poker for four years and turned pro two years ago. Hafiz normally plays online. He said: "I've been enjoying the PCA. It's been long and gruelling, but fun. I expected to do well. This is my best result so far."

"I'm not being cocky," Dustin Woolf said as he strode across the psychedelic carpet of the Atlantis Grand Ballroom. "I'm just in the zone."

One of online poker's best-known players, Woolf arrived today as one of 32 players in the second flight of the PokerStars World Championship of Battleship Poker.

Selbst made sure Mizzi would not repeat his title and went on to face Woolf in the final. With a rowdy rail on hand, Woolf made quick work of the suckoutqueen from Brooklyn.

For winning six straight heads up matches, Woolf won $48,800 and the gold Battleship bracelet.
