It is Sunday once again, and that means we are here again for another partypoker Sunday LIVE. There are three big games to watch through the day, as well as the final phase of a WPT Championship Main Event satellite with 20 tickets to a Day 1 for that $5 million guaranteed game.

The biggest game to watch today is, as always, the Final Phase of The Grand. This real-name game guarantees $200,000, and costs $1,050 to buy directly into the final phase. That gives players 1 million chips, but the multi-phase format allows some players to not only get in for a smaller buy-in in and earlier phase, but also start the final phase with more than a start stack. The Final Phase of The Grand kicks off at 12:05 p.m. eastern time today with 15 minute levels. There are currently 48 players in the game already, and Ian Modder brings the biggest stack into the final phase as the only player with more than 2 million chips so far.

The next game in line is The Sunday 500, with $100,000 guaranteed for $530. With 12 minute levels, this progressive knockout format game usually has quick action. The game starts with 500,000 in chips , and late registration is open for ten full levels. Hands get started at 1:05 p.m. eastern time for The Sunday 500.

The final game we are watching today is The Weekender Final Day. That one gets underway at 2:05 p.m. eastern time, and by the time players make today's Final Day, they are already guaranteed some money. The final satellites are still playing out to set the Final Day field, but currently, 67 players are set to go. Players start with 100,000 chips in this $109 game, and they are playing for a share of at least $100,000 guaranteed.

Stay tuned here all day as PokerNews bring you highlights from all the big Sunday action on partypoker today. partypoker ambassador Patrick Leonard is all set to go for Sunday action today - are you?
