The first $10,300 Super MILLION$ of the 2021 GG Spring Festival will determine a champion today. Out of a field of 312 entries, only nine players remain in contention for Event H-05: $10,300 Super MILLION$. They will battle for the lion's share of the $3,120,000 prize pool and have $73,259 locked up for their efforts so far.

However, all eyes are set on the top prize of $586,075 and a significant bankroll boost for the rest of the busy April schedule. The best-positioned to take down the tournament is Mexico-based WSOP Online bracelet winner Lev "LevMeAlone" Gottlieb, who will enter the final table with 8,062,633 in chips. That'll be 100 big blinds as the blinds roll back to 40,000-80,000 with a running ante of 10,000.

Jordan "PiePie" Cristos made his first Super MILLION$ cash and follows in second place with a stack of 5,428,124, Brazil's Pedro Garagnani (4,455,411) and Juan Pardo (4,185,732) trail that by only a few big blinds. Another WSOP Online bracelet winner sits right in the middle of the pack, as Austria-based Christian Rudolph has 3,193,227 at his disposal.

Damian Salas has also carried over his formidable form at the online and live poker tables, having reached yet another major final table. The 2020 hybrid WSOP Main Event champion is one of four shorter stacks with 1,987,198. The other finalists include "ILUCKuHARD", Andrea Dato, and Aliaksei Boika.
