PCA Tournament Day 5: Major Shifts and Eliminations


On the fifth day of the PCA tournament, 22 players advanced, seated at three tables with 7-8-7 players each. Dmitriy Stelmak, with 3,340,000 chips, was seated with Ana Marquez, the chip leader with 3,805,000 chips.

Chris 'Gettin Daize' Oliver and Chris Moneymaker quickly rose to the top two spots with stacks of 6 million chips each. Oliver won a significant hand with 8x 8x against Kx Kx, setting the stage for future eliminations. Galen Hall entered the 6 million chip zone after a crucial hand against Chris Moneymaker.

Chris Moneymaker was eliminated in 11th place, adding $130,000 to his prize money. Ana Marquez followed, exiting in 10th place with $155,000. Despite not increasing his stack, Dmitriy Stelmak remained in a secure sixth position.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
