PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event: Glorstaxus Still Standing
As Day 4 of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure comes to an end, the men take a back seat, as the last remaining woman in the tournament surges to first place. Ana Marquez is leading the field of 22 heading into the 5th day of the Main Event. PokerStrategist Glorstaxus is still in, as he finished the day in 12th place.

Ana Marquez (picture below) finished the day in the first place holding a chip stack of 3,805,000, but with 22 remaining there is no telling what Day 5 will bring.
Hot on Ana's trail is PokerStars pro Chris Moneymaker, who jumped three spots to finish the day in 2nd place and holding chip stack valued at 3,765,000.
Rounding out the top 5 are Dmitriy Stelmak (3,340,000), Chris Oliver (3,275,000), and poker pro Mike Sower who finished the day in 5th place holding 3,180,000 in chips.
Some of the casualties on Day 4 included EPT Vilamoura champion Toby Lewis, who was eliminated in 34th place, as well as PCA Main Event Day 2 chip leader, Adam Geyer, who went out in 45th place.
Other eliminations include William Givens (39th place), former football player Paulo Rink (27th place) and Josh Bergman (23rd place), who was the last elimination of the day.

glorstaxus, the last remaining PokerStrategist in the tournament, started the day in last place, but managed to stay alive to give himself an excellent chance to make a run at the tournament.
Glorstaxus finished the day in 12th place as he jumped 36 spots from the 48th spot he began the day in. He will definitely have the support of the PokerStrategy.com community as he will try to bring the trophy and the $2.3 million home.
There will be plenty to watch for as Day 5 of the Main Event unfolds on Thursday. Will Moneymaker (pictured left) be able to continue this amazing run and ship the $2.3 million first place prize (only $200k less than his 2003 WSOP Main Event win)? You can see an interview with him below.
Will Ana Marquez outlast the men and take this tournament home for the women? Will PokerStrategist Glorstaxus go from a Day 3 last place finish into a first place victory?
