With just 50 minutes of late registration still possible in The Grand, there are 220 entries in the field. This means that the original $200,000 guarantee has been surpassed. The prize pool has now increased to $220,472 with more to be added as the entries come in.

Germany's Yüksel Tunc is in the lead and joined by Dominik Nitsche, Alexandre Christoforou, Aleksandr Nosov, and Pascal Hartmann in the top five.

No partypoker Ambassadors have been spotted in the tournament yet but might jump in soon.
