partypoker is LIVE again for Another Big Sunday of Action
It's Sunday once again, and that means it's time for partypoker Sunday LIVE. In addition to the three big regular Sunday games, The Grand, The Sunday 500, and The Weekender Final Day, there is the final phase of a WPT Championship Main Event satellite running for players dreaming of getting into the WPT Main Event cheap. There is no direct buy-in to this Final Phase, so players have to win their seat in the game.
As always, the big game today is The Grand, an innovative format that allows players to buy into the Final Phase for $1.050 for 1 million chips, or they can play their way into the Final Phase through earlier, less expensive phases, and potentially bring a bigger stack to the game. There is $200,000 guaranteed in the Grand, and they play 15 minute levels in the Final Phase until a winner is decided.
Jose Lopez is currently sitting on the biggest stack with almost 2.2 million, but there are 39 others already in the game as well. Registration is open till the end of Level 12, and there is one re-entry allowed during that period.
There are also two $100,000 guaranteed games to keep an eye on today. The Sunday 500 costs $530 to enter with one re-entry allowed. This is a PKO game with half the prize pool devoted to bounties, so action tends to go pretty quickly. There are 10 levels of late registration in The Sunday 500, and blinds go up every 12 minutes.
The final game we are watching this Sunday is The Weekender Final Day. Players can't buy in directly to the final day, as they have to play one of the Day 1s to get into the game. Day 1s cost $109 to get into, and all players who make the final day are guaranteed to be in the money. Among the leaders in this one is partypoker Team Online streamer Matthew Staples, who goes into Day 2 with just over 1.25 million and $94 in bounties for 6th place in the standings. Blinds on the final day are 15 minutes long, and they play down to a winner.
Stay here throughout the day for info on the big games happening this Sunday at partypoker. PokerNews will be here until the final hands are dealt.
