Galen Hall won the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure's main event, collecting the massive $2.3 million first prize. The 24-year-old man from San Francisco made a tremendous comeback after being down to few chips versus the very aggressive and large stacked Chris Oliver heads up.
The 2011 PCA main event was the largest ever at 1,560 players. The 2003 WSOP champion Chris Moneymaker had his deepest run in a major event in years, finishing 11th. A woman, Ana Marquez, made the deepest run yet, finishing in 10th.
Final Results:
Galen Hall, 1st place, $2.3 million - 2011 PCA main event champion
Chris Oliver, 2nd place, $1.8 million
Anton Ionel, 3rd place, $1,350,000
