Cards are now in the air for Level 1 of The Weekender Final Day. "BigSlickBaz" comes into the Final Day with the biggest stack of almost 2.5 million, and Team partypoker members Jeff Gross and Monika "HeyMonia" Zukowicz are both in the mix as well.
The Grand is up to 165 entries with just over an hour to go in registration, putting more than $160,000 into the middle so far. It's still paying out the $200,000 guarantee for now, but with less than $40,000 in overlay, it seems certain to pay more than the guarantee this weekend.
The Sunday 500 is in a similar spot. A total of 131 entries so far has the money collected at $65.500. That's still about $35,000 less than the guarantee, but there's lots of time left to fill in that gap.
Martein Van Esch has more than 7 million in The Grand now, to lead the field by a wide margin, while "Eloise." has almost 1,85 million to lead The Sunday 500.
