The WPT #01 Opener kicks off at 9:05 p.m. CEST with the final day of the tournament.

Right now, 38 players have made it through already but Day 1c is still going on. There are around 15 minutes of late registration left in that event with 145 players left out of 280 entries. This with the 268 entries that were already collected means that the $500,000 guaranteed prize pool has already been surpassed.

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas is at the top of the counts with 2,261,718 in chips but who else will join him in the battle for a share of the prize pool?

Love PLO? You'll Love These PLO Daily Legends at partypoker

Pot Limit Omaha players are often overlooked when it comes to tournament poker. Not at partypoker where the PLO players have some incredible tournaments to get their teeth into: the PLO Daily Legends.

partypoker's Daily Legends tournaments have proven immensely popular for several reasons. They have reduced a late registration period and limited re-entries (usually just a single re-entry) which levels the playing field. They finish at a reasonable hour, too, without compromising the average stack size. They are genius really.

PLO Daily Legends follow in the same vein except they are all Omaha tournaments instead of hold'em. Buy-ins range from the $2.20 Forge and increase to the $55 Chieftain.
