Lyle Bateman

Patrick Leonard was as high as 3rd place at one point today, but ultimately couldn't quite make the final table. There are just 11 players left in The Sunday 500, with Leonard out in 14th place for $877 plus $125 in bounties. "claseazul" leads the counts in that one with more than 21 million chips and more than $2,000 in bounties so far.

There are 20 players left in The Grand, with Simon Mattsson leading the way on a stack of more than 24 million chips. Over on The Weekender Final Day, they are down to 14 left, and Day Kotoviezy is short stacked but still alive in 13th place. "salmaovidente" leads the way with 20.8 million and $1,268 in bounties.

Formula 1 Driver Daniel Ricciardo Knows When to Pit

Lyle Bateman

McLaren Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo knows what it's like to operate at peak performance. Both he and his car need to operate at the outer limits of their ability on race day to stand a chance of winning, or even making it to the end of the race. But he also understands that being at your peak means being in control.

At the poker tables, players don't need to worry about spinning off the track into the wall from a momentary lapse of concentration, or a tire blowout at 200 kph because they didn't pull into the pits. But every poker player has experienced some proverbial version of those when they lose control and don't know when to take a break to fix the machinery.

"Only when we're in control are we in charge of our own race," Ricciardo in a recent video. "It's sometimes important to hold back, take a break and take stock. It's important to know when it's time to pit."

Gambling and Auto-racing have a lot in common as McLaren Driver Ricciardo explains

Lyle Bateman

There are 22 left in The Grand, but Jeff Gross managed to ladder with just over 1 big blind and the smallest stack in the game. Fellow Team partypoker pro Isaac Haxton got a min-cash in 26th place worth $2,227, but Gross played his short stack masterfully to ladder into 23rd place for $2,752. Gross also cashed for a bit more than $100 in The Weekender Final Day.

Gross In the Money with Five Bigs

Lyle Bateman

The Grand is now in the money with 31 players left, and both Isaac Haxton and Jeff Gross managed to make the paid spots. Gross slid into the money from the short stack, playing one of the bottom three stacks for the last several levels as they played to the money.

When Bo Pajesø Erichsen ended up bubbling, Gross slid into the money with barely 5 big blinds in his stack. Haxton got there with a few more chips, bringing about 17 bigs into the money.

Will You Become partypoker’s Legend of the Week?

Lyle Bateman

The Daily Legends tournaments at partypoker have proven to be hugely popular thanks to their player-friendly formats. partypoker has slashed the late registration period, limited re-entries, and devised a structure that allows players to head to bed at a reasonable time without turning the tournament into a crap shoot.

Now is the time to try out some of those Daily Legends tournaments because partypoker has launched its Legend of the Week promotion that adds $60,000 worth of value to its Daily Legends schedule every week.

Legend of the Week sees you earn points for playing in selected Daily Legends tournaments from Monday through Saturday. Points are awarded for playing the eligible tournaments, but you earn far more by reaching a final table or by going all the way and becoming a Daily Legends champion.
